Morocco has been elected to the council of the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), reinforcing the kingdom’s presence within global cultural governance bodies.
The election took place during ICCROM’s 34th General Assembly, held in Rome from Dec. 10 to 12, 2025. Morocco will be represented on the council by Rabiaa Harrak, chief architect at the Department of Historical Heritage within the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, for a four year term.
The vote reflects international recognition of Morocco’s expertise in heritage preservation and conservation, as well as its growing role in cultural diplomacy.
Morocco was represented at the assembly by a delegation led by Youssef Balla, ambassador and permanent representative to U.N. agencies in Rome. The session, held under the theme “Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development,” reviewed governance reforms, financial matters and program implementation.
Based in Rome, ICCROM supports member states through training, research and technical assistance. Morocco has been a member since 1958 and remains an active contributor to its initiatives.
