Recommendations and notes regarding Draft Law No. 72.18
Law 72.18 pertains to the
system of beneficiaries of
the system of the social
support program and the
creation of the National
Records Agency
On July 10, 2020, the National
Council for Human Rights submitted
to the parliament, in its two
chambers, its recommendations
and notes regarding draft Law No.
72.18 related to the system for
targeting beneficiaries of social
support programs and the creation
of the National Records
Agency. Such was in implementation
of Article 24 of Law No. 76.15
related to reorganizing the
National Council for Human
Rights, which states that the
Council proposes every recommendation
it deems appropriate,
and the speaker directs it to the
heads of the two chambers of
parliament and the specialized
government authorities.
The document, a copy of which
the Council submitted to the
Prime Minister and the Minister of
Interior, revolves around twelve
(12) recommendations and notes
ensuring that this system is in line
with international human rights
standards related to economic
and social rights and social
welfare in general, and with the
requirements for ensuring the
right to development and social
protection in particular. This is in
addition to the need to work on
linking the targeting system, in
letter and spirit, with the proof of
building a national system of
social protection that accommodates
everyone, achieves equality,
rejects discrimination and limits
the possibilities of excluding the
beneficiaries, whether persons or
groups.
In this framework, Mr. Habib El
Malki, on Wednesday, July 15,
2020, received at the Parliament
House, the President of the
National Council for Human
Rights, Ms. Amna Bouayach, and
her accompanying delegation.
The meeting reviewed the
outlines of the Council's notes
and recommendations regarding
the draft Law No. 72.18, as well as
ways to strengthen cooperation
relations between the two constitutional
institutions, including
updating the agreement of understanding
between both parties,
and how to strengthen the parliament’s
role in the process of
harmonizing national legislation
with international law.
