Morocco has called for a globalization with a human face and a social dimension. The call was made this week by Ms. Aicha Afifi, Morocco's representative at the United Nations Social Development Commission.

The official surveyed Morocco's efforts to usher in social change and achieve social progress through involving the state, local councils, the private sector, social and professional partners and NGOS.

The Moroccan strategy targets people living under the poverty line and people with limited income, she said, voicing hope that international community will enforce fair commercial rules and new financial control mechanisms to avert economic and financial crises at world scale.

The UN Commission debated issues related to social protection, the reduction of vulnerability in the globalization context.
