The Kingdom of Morocco, represented by Ms. Nadia Amal Bernoussi, has been successfully elected to the presidency of the Advisory Committee of the Human Rights Council (CCCDH) during elections held on Monday in Geneva, coinciding with the opening of the 33rd session of the committee.
This election serves as a new testament to Morocco’s credibility within the international community, reflecting its considerable efforts in promoting, protecting, and consolidating human rights both nationally and internationally. The trust placed in Moroccan candidates by UN member states has been manifested through the election of Moroccan experts to nearly all human rights treaty bodies, including the Human Rights Council (CDH), which Morocco presided over in 2024.
Ms. Bernoussi’s successful election is a recognition of her commitment and efforts within this committee, where she has been a member since 2020. She was re-elected for a second term in 2023 for the period 2023-2026. Notably, Ms. Bernoussi is also a member of the Venice Commission and is recognized as a prominent figure in the field of human rights at both national and international levels.
The CCCDH is a subsidiary body of the Human Rights Council composed of 18 experts, tasked with functioning as a think tank focused on promoting and protecting all human rights. During its current session, which runs until February 21, the CCCDH will examine requests derived from CDH resolutions, particularly concerning gender issues, the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order, and matters related to persons with disabilities.
Additionally, the committee will address resolutions related to the impacts of new and emerging technologies on human rights; the effects of misinformation on exercising and realizing human rights; gender-based violence facilitated by technology and its implications for women and girls; and the effects of plastic pollution on the full exercise of human rights.
