Geneva - The Kingdom of Morocco, represented by Ms. Nadia Amal Bernoussi, has been elected to chair the Advisory Committee of the Human Rights Council (CCCDH) during elections held on Monday in Geneva, at the opening of the committee's 33rd session.
This election is considered new evidence of the credibility that Morocco enjoys in the international community, thanks to the great efforts it has made in the field of promoting and protecting human rights at the national and international levels. The trust placed in Moroccan candidates by members of the United Nations has been embodied through the election of Moroccan experts to most of the human rights bodies, including the Human Rights Council, which Morocco chaired in 2024.
Ms. Bernoussi's successful election comes as recognition of her commitment and efforts within the committee, where she has been a member since 2020 and was re-elected for a second term in 2023. She is also a member of the Venice Commission and is considered a prominent figure in the field of human rights at the national and international levels.
The Advisory Committee of the Human Rights Council consists of 18 experts and acts as a think tank to promote and protect all human rights. During its current session, which runs until February 21, the Committee will review requests submitted to it based on resolutions of the Human Rights Council, which relate to issues such as the integration of gender issues and the promotion of a democratic and just international order.
The Committee will also consider the effects of new and emerging technologies on human rights, the impact of misinformation on the exercise of these rights, gender-based violence facilitated by technology and its effects on women and girls, and the impact of plastic pollution on the full exercise of human rights.
