In her opening statement, Mrs. Saadia Waddah, CRDH President, indicated that this meeting is organized within the context of the new parliamentary session that is marked by great expectations and challenges, including social ones, and particularly those related to the health sector. In the same context, she shed light on the CNDH thematic report on the effectiveness of the right to health and the CRDH’s thematic report on the right to health addressing this issue regionally.

The CRDH President underlined that the CNDH is keeping pace with the legislative reforms in Morocco, particularly, the Family Code and the Criminal Code. The CNDH and its Regional Commission will contribute to the public debate on the expected reforms.

Mrs. Waddah also underscored the agenda of this meeting, including sharing the CRDH outcome during the period between the fifth and sixth regular meetings, discussing the CRDH draft action plan 2023, and presenting the report on business and human rights.
