Morocco to Play Key Role at UNHRC to Achieve New Goals for International Human Rights System – Arab Permanent Committee on HR –

Following its election as president of the United Nations Human Rights Council, Morocco will play a key role in leading this prestigious UN body to achieve new goals for the international human rights system, Chairman of the Arab Permanent Committee on Human Rights, Talal Khalid Al Mutairi, said. This election undoubtedly confirms the international community’s trust in the Kingdom and its high-level executives to “lead this council and achieve objectives of which we can be proud as an Arab group”, Al Mutairi told MAP. In this respect, he expressed the Committee’s support for the efforts that Morocco will deploy during its UNHRC presidency, especially since the issue of human rights requires an expanded dialogue on the protection and promotion of these rights, particularly following the dysfunctions which have hampered the human rights system to enforce international laws. Expressing his pride in Morocco’s election to the UNHRC presidency, Al Mutairi, also Kuwait’s Permanent Representative to the Arab League, pointed out that this election is the fruit of Morocco’s measures, laws and legislation to promote human rights. In this regard, he considered that this election is a new success for the Kingdom and the crowning achievement of its efforts in the field of human rights.
