Hosting the first regional office for Africa of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) by Morocco is a recognition of the Kingdom’s role in the field of human rights, at both continental and international levels, said Justice Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi in Rabat on Friday.
Ouahbi told the press that this achievement caps Morocco’s permanent and active mobilization since it joined the Hague Conference on Private International Law, and highlights its presence in related debates.
Hosting Africa’s regional office by Morocco is also a recognition to its efforts to foster family cohesion in line with the principles it promotes, he added, pointing out that Morocco will thus be responsible for coordination with African and Arab countries.
On Thursday, the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) unanimously approved Morocco’s proposal to host the first regional office for Africa, marking a significant step in the Kingdom’s leadership in legal and judicial cooperation on the international stage.
By hosting this office, Morocco reaffirms its commitment to advancing legal and judicial cooperation at regional and global levels, supporting Africa’s aspirations for a more harmonized and efficient judicial system.
The new office will serve as a key platform for enhancing legal and judicial cooperation across the continent. It will facilitate the implementation of HCCH conventions, bolster cross-border legal security, and contribute to the harmonization of judicial systems.
