"These issues are addressed in high-level panels attended by leading figures from around the world who are experts in these fields," on the occasion of the 57th session of the HRC, Morocco's ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Omar Zniber told MAP.
“The right to development is a subject on the Council's agenda, but with divergent approaches," observed the president of the HRC, noting that developing countries are arguing for recognition of this right as such while conferring a human dimension on human rights.
The diplomat also emphasized the fundamental nature of the right to education for children, “by which we can measure whether we wish to have a very positive approach to the implementation of human rights in this dimension.”
The 57th session is marked by interactive dialogues, during which reports submitted to the Council by mandate holders, Special Procedures, and Special Rapporteurs are examined, he said.
"In addition to country reports, there are also special reports on specific issues, such as violence against women and racial discrimination," the diplomat added.
The issue of artificial intelligence and human rights is also one of the priorities of Morocco's presidency of the Human Rights Council.
Last week, Morocco held an international meeting on the impact of artificial intelligence on the enjoyment of human rights, with the participation of heads of international organizations such as UNESCO and the International Telecommunication Union, Mr. Zniber said.
