Effectiveness of Human Rights and Freedoms: Spatial Justice as a Lever for Human Development and Enhancing Resilience
The National Human Rights Council (CNDH) will organize a meeting on “Spatial Justice as a Lever for Human Development and Enhancing Resilience” and take place on Tuesday 31 October 2023, at 3 pm at the CNDH headquarters in Rabat, Morocco.
This meeting is part of the second session of the “Human Rights Agora” project, which is a series of discussion panels on the effectiveness of human rights and freedoms.
It is organized within a national context marked by regional and spatial disparities discussion in Morocco.
These disparities hinder human development and weaken society’s ability to resist natural disasters and climate/humanitarian crises. Similarly, in an international context shaped by threats related to uncertainty and the increasing scale of challenges associated with human development.
Through this event, the CNDH seeks to examine the reality of spatial disparities, their various causes and their effects on human development efforts. It also intends to explore possible approaches to build public action founded on spatial justice as a basic condition for comprehensive development and a lever to enhance society’s capacity to resilience. Besides, the CNDH aims to establish foundations for a national early warning system as part of a strategy for crisis anticipation and build a flexible system to deal with these crises in case they occur by providing conclusions/recommendations in this regard.
Stakeholders will address this issue through three key points:
- Regionalization/challenges of territorial management of spatial disparities;
- Public policies and challenges of reducing socio-spatial differences;
- Spatial justice, challenges facing human development, and strengthening resilience capacity.
Mrs. Amina Bouayach, CNDH Chairperson, will inaugurate this event.
Researchers, economic/sociology experts, specialists in education, environment, climate and human rights, activists and government representatives will take part in this meeting.
