The action of Morocco in this field
respects the requirements of the State of
Law to which Morocco is firmly attached to,
the Premier underlined during the opening
ceremony of the Conference of Ministers of
Justice of the Francophone Countries of
Africa.
Mr. El Fassi stressed the "new and
complex dimensions that the anti-terror
fight has taken, due to the
interconnectedness between organized crime,
whether arms, drugs, or human trafficking."
For his part, Justice minister,
Abdelwahad Radi, said terrorism constitutes
one of the "ills of our modern days" against
which all the members of the international
community should unite and develop common
actions to eradicate it.
Morocco, which, like many countries, has
battled with the terrorism phenomenon, has
committed to strengthen its national
capacities, Mr. Radi noted, recalling that
Morocco had ratified all the international
conventions dealing with that matter.
According to the United Nations Office
on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) representative,
Jean Paul Laborde, this conference offers
the opportunity to "remember the victims of
the acts of terrorism" throughout the world,
notably in the Africa, and to pool efforts
in the face of this phenomenon.
Representative of the International
Organization of Francophonie (OIF), Rajaona
Andrianaivo Ravelona, reiterated the
organization mobilization in favor of the
anti-terror cooperation, calling for the
respect of the international values on the
protection of human rights.
