The European Union Migrants Forum's support group for North Africa will hold in Casablanca next October 22-24 a Euro-Mediterranean symposium on human rights and democracy in eastern and southern Mediterranean countries.

The encounter will debate the role of civil society in the respect of human rights, the safeguard of democracy, and the attainment of integrated and decentralized development in all eastern and south Mediterranean countries.

According to the forum president, Said Charchira, the forum seeks to contribute to consolidating the role of non-governmental organizations and associations and reinforce the symbols of democracy and the respect of human rights.

Attended by observers and participants from Mediterranean and European countries, the meeting will propose outlines for future programs of the European Union and of south and east mediterranean countries with the aim of supporting non-governmental organizations and components of the civil society.
