Morocco, UNICEF sign agreement on children's rights

Rabat - Moroccan human rights watchdog (CCDH) and UN children's fund (UNICEF) signed on Thursday an agreement on the promotion of children's rights and the setting up of aid mechanisms for abused children.

    The agreement was signed by chairman of CCDH, Ahmed Herzenni, and UNICEF representative in Morocco, Aloys Kamuragiye.

    Under the agreement, the UN body commits itself to supporting the CCDH in setting up national institutional aid mechanisms, in accordance with the Paris Principles, with the aim of contributing to the implementation of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, following-up cases of child abuse, and enhancing the rights of young people.

    A monitoring commission, made up of representatives of the CCDH and the UNICEF, will be set up to carry out the agreement. It will take charge of implementing the 2010-2011 "Morocco-UNICEF Cooperation" program.
