Morocco’s Permanent Representative to the UN in New York, Ambassador Omar Hilale, was unanimously elected chairman of The Special Committee on the Charter of the United Nations and on the Strengthening of the Role of the Organization. The election is another victory for Moroccan diplomacy as it continues strengthening its foothold in UN agencies. The rise of the Kingdom in UN Committees attests to the efficiency of Moroccan diplomacy and the alignment of national policies with the UN agenda. Morocco was brilliantly elected to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for the period 2018-2020, during the elections, held on June 20, 2017 in New York. The year 2017 was particularly marked by the success of Moroccan candidacies to various decision-making bodies covering the three priority pillars of the United Nations: Peace and security, human rights and sustainable development.
