Lesson Learned: Monitoring Implementation of UN Treaty Bodies’ Recommendations in Morocco
Inclusive project designs that rely on human rights actors from diverse professions and backgrounds have a high potential for reaching project objectives and mitigation strategies. In this case, the inclusion of established and new generation human rights activists from different regions, research-based professions (such as academics and journalists), legislators and policy professionals assured project impact and smooth overcoming of delays due to contextual challenges.
The project’s objective is to support in an inclusive way the monitoring of governmental efforts to implement UN treaty body recommendations, by bringing together civil society organizations and parliamentary actors to develop a monitoring mechanism; conducting a capacity development programme on international human rights law, monitoring, and advocacy in four regions; and mobilizing legislators to effectively exercise their roles and responsibilities in holding the government accountable for its commitments to implement UN treaty body recommendations.
