Social movements right to protest and peacefully demonstrate In Morocco

Abstract

This paper proceeds from a basic hypothesis that the Kingdom of Morocco provided for the right of social movements to protest and peaceful demonstration in the Constitution of 2011, and in the international human right law, but they circumvent this right through their intern laws. Although Morocco has developed its human rights practice since its opening up to the human rights field in the early 1990s, and its entrenchment of many of the major rights and freedoms in the 2011 Constitution, and involvement in the international human rights law, but still suffers problems at the level of application and activation of these rights. The Moroccan law (the Public Assemblies Law), presents several obstacles through formal procedures that impede the practice of the right to assembly and peaceful demonstration, and to deny this right, which is contrary to Morocco's international obligations in the human right and with all works do it in this field. Therefore, it requires the necessary and urgent harmonization of his intern laws with the international human rights conventions, and with the 2011 Constitution which recognized this right and in its practice.
