The Prometheus Institute for Democracy and Human Rights said it has sent an official letter to Morocco’s head of government outlining the findings of its 2022 study on human security and youth priorities, while calling for the implementation of the “Pact for the Future” and its annex, the “Declaration for Future Generations,” adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2024 under resolution A/RES/79/1.
In a statement, the institute said the initiative comes amid growing social mobilization by Moroccan youth, particularly Generation Z, whose demands it described as legitimate and documented in its report.
The study found that 84 percent of youth expectati ons center on access to basic services, including employment, quality public education and public hospitals. It identified shortcomings in education, social cohesion and human security as key barriers to sustainable human development.
The institute said the results underline the need for social justice and quality public services. It argued that implementing the UN pact could help establish policies that restore youth confidence in institutions.
The organization recalled its international advocacy, including the “Kathmandu Call for Future Generations” launched at the World Social Forum in February 2024, backed by more than 180 youth organizations worldwide. It also took part in UN consultations leading to the adoption of the pact and annex.
Marking a year since its adoption, the institute urged Morocco to set up a national mechanism to monitor implementation, citing the annex’s emphasis on ending intergenerational poverty, hunger, inequality and injustice.
In its letter, the institute reaffirmed its commitment to advancing forward-looking governance on youth issues and called for an open dialogue that reflects their aspirations.
