Morocco was re-elected to the Advisory Committee of the Human Rights Council in the person of Nadia Amal Bernoussi for the years 2023–2026, during the elections held in conjunction with the 54th session of the Human Rights Council (HRC), which took place on October 13, 2023, in Geneva

The Human Rights Council Advisory Committee is a subsidiary body of the Human Rights Council composed of 18 experts. Its mission is to serve as a think tank for the advancement and protection of all human rights.

This election demonstrated Morocco’s level of international credibility due to the significant efforts made in support of the promotion, protection, and consolidation of human rights, both at the national and international levels, in line with the High Vision of King Mohammed VI.

The outstanding re-election of Bernoussi culminates in a significant diplomatic effort to advance the Moroccan candidacy.

Nadial Amal Bernoussi’s reelection comes as no surprise, as she is a prominent figure in the field of human rights who is well-known nationally as well as internationally. 

She is also a member of the Venice Commission and has served on the Human Rights Council’s Advisory Committee since 2020. 

Bernoussi was a member of the advisory commission for the revision of the 2011 constitution, and she is still quite influential in human rights academic research.
