Morocco has chosen to fight terrorism with legal and education means, while preserving human rights and defending its democratic project, sais Saturday Morocco's minister of human rights, Mohamed Aujjar.

Speaking at an international forum on terrorism, the minister, who recalled the kingdom's achievements in consolidation of democracy and the rule of law, said Morocco's adherence to the UN decade for human rights education is a further evidence to the Kingdom's resolve to promote education and citizenship.

Aujjar also called countries of the North to care about concerns of those of the South, especially that terrorism is striking a part of the Arab-Muslim worlds.

Civil society representatives from several countries, mainly Algeria, France, Tunisia, Spain, Turkey and the Netherlands are taking part in the encounter titled "Associations against terrorism: what strategies, what actions?"

The forum, that closed on Sunday, sought to deepen analysis of the phenomenon on the basis of different approaches and several fields of action.
