This re-election reflects the high degree of trust enjoyed by the Kingdom for its role in the protection and promotion of human rights in the international community, the press release added. It also comes just a few weeks after the Kingdom’s re-election to a new term on the Human Rights Committee on May 29, 2024, and its re-election to a new term on the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights on April 6, 2024. Morocco’s re-election to this important body also attests to the credibility of the Kingdom’s action to protect the rights of people with disabilities. Abdelmajid Makni, a committed civil society activist and former member of the National Human Rights Council, has in-depth expertise in promoting the rights of people with disabilities. The Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is a body of 18 independent experts, recognized for their integrity, competence, and experience.
