Today, Friday, the headquarters of the National Council for Human Rights adopted a national consultation with the children, who crowned a path that started in February 2023 and continued for a full year, with the participation of hundreds of children in the various regions of the kingdom.
This initiative is part of a project supervised by the Council, with the support of the United Nations Children’s Fund in Morocco (UNICEF), aimed at strengthening the institutionalization of the principle of children’s participation, because it is one of the fundamental principles of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, that Morocco is one of the ratification parties.
The two -day national consultations, which children will carry out their sessions, are devoted to the interaction on the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Work of the International Committee for the Rights of the Child and their questions and the parallel reports which are submitted to them, as well as the elections of the representatives of children who will present the parallel report of the United Nations Committee in September.
In a speech, the president of the Council, Amna Bouayash, said that the idea of these regional consultations came in the context of the implementation of an innovative approach to improve the participation of children in interesting questions, noting that the decision to organize these consultations, in partnership with the relevant government sectors, embodies the desire to allow children to express and participate.
She explained that these consultations reflected the extent of the awareness and interest of children to assess the public policies addressed to them, and to their opinion to discuss laws related to their fundamental rights, and to their ability to formulate practical recommendations that can be implemented, calling for the same respect to stipulate the institutionalization of the principle of participation in the next child code.
And it was registered that this experience is preparing the children for a new challenge, embodied in the representation of their voice and subjects a relationship to their name before the United Nations Committee for the Rights of the Child, on the basis of the summits of regional consultations “, which is one of the important moments of the program of this national consultation. »»
Ms. Bouayash stressed that children will confirm, through the “Rabat call”, that they are real actors in the protection system and in the formulation of public policies, since this call is documentation of a working methodology based on a cosmic principle which is the principle of participation.
For its part, the Minister of Solidarity and Social Integration and the Family Integration, Naima Bin Yahya, stressed that Morocco has made tireless efforts to protect childhood and provide the appropriate conditions for its growth and development, by the approval of national legislation, and the launch of programs and the support of NGOs working in this area.
She added that this initiative reflects the response of the Kingdom of Morocco to international recommendations, in particular the final observations issued by the Committee for the Rights of the Child, after having discussed the Report of the Kingdom of Morocco, the collector of the third and fourth reports of 2024, on the implementation of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Ms. Bin Yahya underlined the ministry’s commitment to the principle of devoting and consolidating children’s right to participate, and its way of developing indicators, tools and approaches to children’s participation and identifying successful experiences in the promotion of children’s law to participate, to complete the practices of the Convention on Children’s Rights and the adaptation of certain aspects of legislation with international legislation.
For her part, the actress of UNICEF in Morocco, Laura Bell, considered that deep cooperation between her organization and the Council embodies an example of solid and fruitful partnership, which has contributed to creating an important mechanism which allows children to file complaints when they will violate their rights, noting that this initiative is recognized in the Arab region, because it expresses a real commitment to protect the rights of the child.
She said that children are “an important historic moment” because they will participate in their own report for the first time submitted to the children’s rights committee, stressing that they will be able to elect their representatives who will participate in this dialogue with the Committee, to represent them and ensure that their voice will attend all stages.
