Calendar
From 8 to 17 Fabruary 2008
“Archives, Memory and History” will be the theme chosen by the Advisory Council on Human Rights (CCDH) to take part in the 14th International Exhibition of Book and Publishing that will be held this year from 8 to 17 February, in Casablanca.
For this purpose, the CCDH plans a series of activities to discuss the subject chosen : a conference on “Testimony and the Writing of the History”, (February 13), a conference on “The Archives : Current Status and Law Enforcement”, (14 February). Furthermore, a meeting/workshop with the youth is expected to take place on history education (February 10) as well as a session for presenting the comic strip made in collaboration with some children on 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The theme of “Archives, Memory and History”, which constitutes a main concern in the process of upholding democracy and promoting human rights in a transitional society, falls within the scope of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission’s recommendations, the follow-up and implementation of which the CCDH was entrusted with.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to national actors who will facilitate these meetings, the CCDH invited Professor Claude Mouchard, writer, inter alia, of “Qui, si je criais… ?- Œuvres-témoignages dans les tourmentes du XXe siècle », (Laurence Teper éditions, May 2007).
