The Moroccan government council approved the establishment of an interministerial delegation for human rights this Thursday, December 2, and defined its powers and structure.
The proposal, an initiative of Minister of Justice Abdellatif Ouahbi, aims to repeal Article 1 of the initial establishing decree, which was published on the official bulletin back in 2011.
According to the previous decree, the delegation was to be attached to the head of government. The amended bill will now give the head of government authority to attach the delegation to any other government body he designates for this purpose.
This new draft allows the inter-ministerial delegate in charge of human rights to exercise the powers conferred on the ministerial delegation, retaining full ministerial executive and binding power.
Previously, Morocco’s executive human rights arsenal consisted of a separate ministry for human rights, abolished in 2002 in favor of the interministerial delegation, then again resurrected in 2017.
Then minister of human rights Mustafa Ramid had full authority over all human rights structures in the country.
The delegation’s main missions will most likely follow suit of its preceding outlined features, which consist of its contribution to the development and implementation of government policy on human rights, coordinating government action to promote a culture respectful of human rights, and proposing the necessary measures for their integration into public policies.
Existing legislation also saw the delegation in charge of preparing and presenting national reports to United Nations mechanisms, as well as strengthening Morocco’s participation in international human rights efforts.
The biggest injustice against the citizen is that Wehbe takes over the judiciary, as if you were putting a wolf to protect your sheep. Since you became the Minister of Justice, why don’t you follow Akhannouch for the 17 billion that you have always been asking for?
