Morocco has been reelected member of the UN Committee on Children’s Rights (UNICEF) for a third consecutive term (2023-2027).
The Kingdom’s re-election, as represented by Hynd Ayoubi Idrissi, follows elections held on the occasion of the 19th meeting of member states to the UNICEF, said a statement from the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Competing with 13 other candidate states for the nine vacant seats in this committee, Hynd Ayoubi Idrissi was elected in the first round with 137 votes, thanks to a campaign that has mobilized the entire diplomatic apparatus of Morocco, continued the same source.
A doctor in human rights, university professor and international consultant in the field of children’s rights, the Moroccan expert has managed, during her first two mandates, to gain the esteem of her counterparts and States Parties thanks to her substantial contribution to the work of the Committee.
This new mandate will allow her to continue the work she has started in favor of strengthening the comprehensiveness and transversality of children’s rights, the monitoring of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the working methods of the Committee.
