Morocco's commitment to Human rights, a 'model' in the region, Canadian NGO
Morocco-Regional, Politics, 12/17/2004

Morocco's efforts to promote human right have been described as a "model" by Canadian human rights organization "Rights and Democracy " which works for the consolidation of the democratic institutions and the promotion of the human rights in Canada and in the world.

In its annual report (2003-2004), made public Wednesday in Montreal, "Rights and Democracy" which carried out studies in thirteen countries from Asia, Africa, Central and Latin America, the Middle-East and North Africa, said Morocco was "at the heart of its engagement in the Middle-East and North Africa."

The Montreal-based independent organization, created in 1988 by the Canadian Parliament underlined in particular, Morocco's experience in human rights protection. It mentioned in this regard, the royal decision to set up the "Equity and Reconciliation" committee entrusted with settling, out of courts, human rights abuses in the Kingdom since 1956.

In addition to shedding light on these abuses, the committee seeks to propose means of repairing the injustices, rehabilitating the victims, promoting and facilitating the national reconciliation. "

Despite the challenges that the democratic development in the Middle East and in North Africa represents, some countries are engaged in a process of democratisation, and Morocco is "an example," wrote the authors of this report.
