Workshop on Housing-related challenges facing foreigners in Morocco
The National Human Rights Council (CNDH) organizes a workshop to address “Housing-related challenges facing foreigners” on 29 March 2018 in Rabat, Morocco.
The right to decent housing is provided by the Constitution and all international conventions ratified by Morocco. The access of the most vulnerable people to this right contributes to improving the rights of all. Hence, these fundamental principles are also the founding pillars of migration and asylum policies. Furthermore, it should be noted that the CNDH report which called on the adoption of a new migration policy, addressed this issue.
This workshop will be an opportunity to determine the legal framework on housing and experiences/projects to host vulnerable people especially foreigners. The discussion will also make it possible to identify initiatives, challenges and share action proposals to promote the right of foreigners to housing.
This seminar will bring together actors working on housing, temporary accommodation and migration (government departments, state institutions, civil society actors…). It will also enable them to share experiences, reflections and good practices.
This workshop is divided into sessions on: Public policies, mechanisms on the right to housing and sector-based items under the national migration and asylum strategy; Housing: International normative framework and sharing experiences; Humanitarian aid and inclusion in legal arrangements: Challenges and issues regarding the protection of fundamental rights.
Mr. Driss EL Yazami, President of the CNDH will open the session at 9 am.
