Morocco, Arab human rights organization sign cooperation accord

Morocco and the Arab human rights organization agreed on Friday to step cooperation meant to support the civil society and government efforts to protect human rights.

The agreement, signed by Morocco's human rights minister- Mohamed Aujjar- and the Organization secretary general -Mohamed Faiq- seeks to generalize the human rights culture and associate law enforcement officials in this endeavor.

The agreement provides for training sessions for law enforcement authorities to upgrade their knowledge of United Nations human rights principles and rules of conduct.

The Arab organization is bound by a similar agreement with Egypt.
