A Euro-Mediterranean body for the protection of children's rights protection was set up Friday in Rabat.
The international organization will be chaired by Princess Lalla Meryem, head of the National Observatory of Children's Rights (ONDE) and UNESCO goodwill ambassador.
The organization, to be supported by a network of bureaus in France, Lebanon, Switzerland., is the fruit of efforts by international experts and of recommendations of the 2002 Marrakesh Euro-Mediterranean conference on human and children's rights.
According to participants to a meeting Friday at the ONDE offices, the newly-created organization will address different problems facing children, mainly exploitation, mistreatment, violence, migration, drugs and AIDS.
