The President of the National Human Rights Council (CNDH), Mrs. Amina Bouayach affirmed that “the countries of the South are initiators of debates and negotiations in the elaboration of human rights”, during a debate at the Council’s stand this Saturday at the 28th edition of the International Publishing and Book Fair (SIEL).

The stand organized, during its ninth day of activity, a debate under the theme: “What role for the countries of the South in the elaboration and adoption of a pact relating to the third generation of human rights (development, environment and solidarity)? »

Mrs. Amina Bouayach declared on this occasion at the microphone of Article19.ma that: “Firstly, the countries of the South do not undergo human rights, they are actors of human rights, they are initiators of several standards in second, they are beneficiaries of these human rights principles”.

The President also recalled that: “The countries of the South have an important contribution to a certain number of new questions in the area of ​​human rights, such as the right to development, the right to the environment, and to the question of business and human rights”.

+ « Sister Deborah » +

The CNDH stand invited the novelist from Rwanda Mrs. Scholastique Mukasonga, who presented her novel entitled “Sister Deborah”.

This book tells a fascinating story that takes place in the 1930s, when all of East Africa saw a vast movement of conversion to Christianity.

Sister Deborah, prophetess and thaumaturge, “is inspired by what existed in Rwanda, and at the same time she perpetuates the powerful woman and the powerful spirit”, underlined Scholastique Mukasonga.

Adding that: “My character is a pioneer of feminism, because Sister Deborah in the book is concerned and preaches the liberation of women, who proclaims that the Messiah will be a black woman who will come to free black women from all drudgery, and from the submission they experience on a daily basis”.

+ “453 Abortion. The fight of a lifetime » +

The stand also invited Dr. Chafik Chraibi who presented his book “453 Abortion. The fight of a lifetime”, co-written with Ms. Karima Echcherki.

The Doctor said in a statement that: “453, it is because I work essentially on the article of the Penal Code which is 453, which is the only article which gives the possibility and does not punish abortion, because all the other articles from 449 to 457 punish him”.

It should be noted that article 453 states that: “Abortion is not punished when it constitutes a necessary measure to safeguard the health of the mother and when it is openly practiced by a doctor or a surgeon with the consent of the spouse. If the practitioner considers that the life of the mother is in danger, this authorization is not required”.

Dr. Chafik Chraibi thus underlines that: “The fight for the legalization of abortion in Morocco is to preserve the health of women, because all those who are going to have an unsafe abortion and who are not in the rules of the art of medicine, these are risky and clandestine abortions which can lead to a lot of risks”.
