She noted that the meeting provided an opportunity to talk about the significance of human rights as well as Morocco’s recent election to the UN Human Rights Council.
In order to examine how the UN’s programs help regional economic growth, the lives of women and youth, and assistance to refugees and irregular migrants, Sison announced an impending meeting with the UN country team. Our Moroccan partners “take extremely seriously” these challenges.
