Morocco to set up national human rights education commission

Morocco will set up shortly a national commission in charge of human rights education and promotion in schools. The creation of the commission is part of Morocco's resolve to promote human rights culture and consolidate the rule of law and rights.

Morocco, which launched lately a Human rights university chair, is hosting a regional office of Amnesty International for North-Africa and the Middle-east.

The office, which was dedicated last june, seeks the protection and promotion of human rights culture in the Mideast and North African region.

Morocco will also host next year a congress of the London-based human rights organization Amnesty International.
