The 12th National Congress of the Moroccan Human rights Organization (OMDH), recently held in Rabat, has marked a significant step in the continuous commitment of the organization for the defense of human rights in Morocco.
During a press briefing organized yesterday at the central headquarters of the OMDH, the new president, Naoufal Bouamri, presented the main conclusions of the Congress and the future prospects of the organization.
In his declaration before representatives of national media, Naoufal Bouamri expressed the WHODH’s desire to consolidate its actions in favor of human rights, emphasizing collaboration with national and international institutions. He also stressed the importance of human rights education and awareness of the general public in order to build a fairer and equitable society.
According to Naoufal Bouamri, the congress welcomed the advances recorded in Morocco in several fields – constitutional, legislative and political, qualified as real achievements in matters of human rights. However, the delegates deplored the lack of effectiveness of economic, social and cultural rights, believing that current public policies are struggling to guarantee their full enjoyment.
-The new president of the OMDH praised the royal graces granted to a number of journalists, bloggers and prisoners of social movements. This decision was perceived as a sign of opening.
The OMDH thus called for the expansion of this measure to all prisoners of social movements, and invited the authorities to initiate local dialogues with the populations within the framework of a participatory approach, in order to solve social problems at the source.
Naoufal Bouamri has reaffirmed the WHODH’s desire to continue its action with a view to opening, dialogue and consolidating human rights mechanisms, in all their dimensions, while providing for strengthening its partnerships with other civil society organizations and continuing its efforts for the adoption of legislative reforms aligned on the provisions of the constitution and international standards of human rights.
