During the 27th session of the Universal Periodic Review in Geneva, Morocco has been able to present the progress it made in the implementation of the recommendations issued four years ago. Meanwhile, the attendees of the UN meeting reminded the Kingdom of its obligations towards Women's rights.
The Security Council extended the mandate of the United Nations mission for a referendum in Western Sahara through the adoption of Resolution 2351. The decision was met positively by Rabat while the Polisario remained silent.
Just like last year, Morocco is slowly progressing in the 2016 Human Development Report. Ranked 123th in the world, the kingdom is still dwelling at the bottom of the list.
