In Morocco, discussions regarding the upcoming government formation led by Fatima Zahra Mansouri have centered on human rights protections. Former Minister of Justice and Human Rights Mustapha Ramid has advocated for the reinstatement of a dedicated human rights ministry, arguing that the lack of a specialized minister weakens the balance between public order and civil liberties.

Following these calls, the Mediator for Democracy and Human Rights issued a memorandum to the designated head of government. The organization requested the release of individuals detained during social protests, reforms to public liberty laws, and the acceleration of Family Code reforms. The memorandum stated that government success should be measured by the “tangible impact of public policies on citizens’ rights and living conditions” rather than the quantity of legislation passed.
