Morocco has been successfully re-elected in the person of Nadia Amal Bernoussi to the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee (HRCAC) for the 2023-2026 term. The members of the Human Rights Council (HRC) conducted the elections during the 54th session of the HRC this October 13, 2023, in Geneva, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press release. Moroccan candidates have consistently gained the trust of UN member states across various UN bodies responsible for promoting human rights, with Moroccan experts being elected to nearly all human rights treaty bodies. Bernoussi, a member of the Venice Commission and the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee since 2020, is a prominent figure in the field of human rights, both nationally and internationally. The Human Rights Council Advisory Committee comprises 18 experts and serves as a think-tank focusing on the promotion and protection of all human rights.
