DIDH Learns from OHCHR about Recommendation Tracking System

DIDH Learns from OHCHR about Recommendation Tracking System

Maroca day ago
A team from the Interministerial Delegation for Human Rights (DIDH) learned on Wednesday in Geneva about a system developed by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), designed for tracking recommendations from UN mechanisms.
During a meeting with OHCHR officials, the Secretary-General of the DIDH, Fatima Barkan, and the accompanying delegation, received explanations from OHCHR representatives about the National Recommendations Tracking Database (NRTD).
This is a digital tool developed by the High Commissioner to assist National Mechanisms for Implementation, Reporting, and Follow-up (NMIRFs) in managing recommendations from human rights mechanisms.
The system addresses three major challenges: the complex management of recommendations and follow-up activities, coordination among various stakeholders and institutions, and the loss of institutional memory due to staff turnover, according to Marie Eve Boyer, Human Rights Officer at OHCHR.
It is an interactive web application designed to help states plan and monitor the fulfillment of their human rights obligations and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The NRTD offers several features, including importing and classifying recommendations, planning and monitoring implementation activities, and extracting and generating reports.
For the DIDH, the idea is to draw on OHCHR's experience to develop "a 100% Moroccan system," a robust tool that will serve as a strategic dashboard to facilitate the DIDH's mission of coordinating and monitoring the implementation of recommendations.
The meeting, held on the sidelines of the 59th session of the Human Rights Council (HRC), was attended by representatives of other Moroccan institutions involved in human rights issues, as well as OHCHR staff members.

Rwanda Celebrates 31 Years of Liberation in Morocco

Rabat – The Rwandan Embassy in Rabat held a ceremony today to mark Kwibuka 31, the 31st anniversary of Rwanda's liberation. The event brought together Rwandans living in Morocco, Moroccan officials, and diplomats. The Moroccan Minister of Justice Abdellatif Ouahbi was also present at the event. Speaking to Morocco World News, Rwandan Ambassador to Morocco Shakila Omutonyi explained the meaning of Kwibuka , saying it means 'to liberate oneself.' She said the day is very important because it reminds everyone of the end of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, a tragic event that affected Rwanda deeply. Kwibuka about celebrating the journey Rwanda has made over the last 31 years. But Kwibuka is not just about remembering the past. It is also about celebrating the journey Rwanda has made over the last 31 years, the ambassador added. 'But on the other hand, we also commemorate the journey that Rwanda has gone through for the past 31 years. a journey of reconstruction, a journey of resilience. But mostly it's the Rwandan people that has made a decision to move forward and not be stuck in the past,' she told MWN. She thanked Morocco for supporting Rwanda throughout this journey of recovery and growth. Kwibuka is a day of remembrance and hope. It honors the memory of those who lost their lives during the genocide and celebrates Rwanda's progress in peace, unity, and development. Kwibuka about celebrating the journey Rwanda has made over the last 31 years. In 1994, over 800,000 people were killed in just 100 days during the tragic genocide against the Tutsi. Since the genocide ended, Rwanda has made a strong effort to rebuild the nation, with focus on justice, development, and unity among its people. Kwibuka is observed every year to honor the victims and to remember the pain and loss experienced by the country. But it's also a time for healing, peace, and unity. Each year, the country and Rwandan communities around the world hold ceremonies, events, and educational activities to promote reconciliation and prevent such violence from happening again.

Ecuador Opens First Embassy in Morocco, Marks New Era in Bilateral Ties

Rabat – Ecuador officially opened its first embassy in Morocco on Friday, marking a new chapter in the growing relationship between the two countries. The opening of the embassy comes after Ecuador's decision in October 2024 to cut all ties with the self-styled 'Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic' and strengthen its diplomatic ties with Morocco, notably backing the Moroccan position on the Western Sahara conflict. The ceremony was attended by Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Gabriela Sommerfeld. Morocco now hosts 165 diplomatic missions, including 50 from international organizations, Bourita said. He noted that 14 Latin American embassies are based in Rabat, arguing that this positions Morocco as a bridge between Latin America and Africa. Moroccan FM Nasser Bourita speaking at the inauguration of the embassy Bourita spoke of the strategic importance Morocco places on its relations with Latin America, saying the partnership with Ecuador reflects a 'win-win' South-South cooperation model. The two countries, he added, aim to work together across many fields to benefit both nations and their people. He also commended Ecuador for appointing an ambassador to lead the new diplomatic mission in Rabat. Meanwhile, Sommerfeld described the embassy opening as the start of a new dynamic in Ecuador-Morocco relations. She expressed her country's commitment to deepening ties in key sectors and sharing expertise in different areas. Sommerfeld noted that this is Ecuador's first embassy in the Maghreb region and said it could serve as a 'gateway to African markets.' The embassy opening followed a meeting between Bourita and Sommerfeld, during which the Ecuadorian minister confirmed her country's support for Morocco's autonomy plan for Western Sahara. Ecuador considers the 2007 Moroccan proposal as the basis for a lasting political solution to the conflict.

Liberia reaffirms support for Moroccan sovereignty over Sahara

Liberia has reiterated its support for Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara. The position was reaffirmed on Friday, July 4, in Rabat by Liberia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sara Beysolow Nyanti, during a press briefing following her meeting with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita. Nyanti expressed her country's full support for Morocco's autonomy initiative, describing it as «the only credible, serious, and realistic solution» to the regional dispute. Liberia was among the first African countries to open a general consulate in the Sahara, an initiative formalized on March 12, 2020, in Dakhla during a ceremony co-chaired by Nasser Bourita and former Liberian Foreign Minister Gbehzohngar Findley. This renewed expression of support carries added political weight as Liberia prepares to join the United Nations Security Council as a non-permanent member for the term beginning January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027. The Democratic Republic of Congo, which opened its consulate in Dakhla on December 19, 2020, will also join the Security Council at the start of next year.
