LOCAL COMMITTEES OF SOCIAL INTEGRATION FOR VICTIMS OF PAST HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS TREAT MORE THAN 1100 CASES AND SUGGEST RELEVANT SOLUTIONS

The local committees in charge of the implementation of social integration for victims of human rights violations treated more than 110 cases and suggested relevant solutions for the integration of the persons concerned. They presented their suggestions and complicated cases to the central committee of social integration.

The local committees, composed of all governmental sectors and national institutions concerned, met in all 57 provinces and prefectures concerned. This phase was characterized by the participation of all sectors represented in the central committee, fact that helped creating a new dynamic to repair the victims.

Following the Equity and Reconciliation Commission’s recommendations regarding social integration and in implementation of a note issued by the Prime Minister on April 1st, 2010 and the points upon which the central committee in charge of social integration agreed, relative to the creation of local committees in the Kingdom’s provinces and prefectures, chaired by Walis and Governors, local committees met to study cases submitted to each committee by the Advisory Council on Human Rights (CCDH). These cases are different in terms of number, social conditions and qualifications. In addition to the Council, all sectors concerned by social integration participated in these committees.

The central committee:

 follows up, directly, the works of local committees during this program;

 ratifies integration suggestions mentioned in the reports of local committees;

 treats complicated cases referred to the committee by local committees.

Local committees:

 examine details and information mentioned in the files of the persons concerned;

 meet beneficiaries individually to listen to their requests and suggestions;

 study suggestions and requests submitted by the persons concerned to the Council or the committees;

 examine all regional and local social integration possibilities, taking into consideration the qualifications and circumstances of the persons concerned and the proximity approach;

 treat each file and submit relevant suggestion to the central committee;

 submit complicated cases to the central committee.

The recommendation of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission (IER) and its follow up committee, relevant to social integration, aimed at several cases, to wit:

 cases of victims who didn’t have social position and who are unable to practice any job and cannot integrate, due to their age or health conditions;

 cases of victims who used to work for private big institutions and lost their jobs. The IER recommend the settlement of their conditions vis-à-vis the institutions, if they were not already settled;

 cases of victims who carried out their studies and obtained their diplomas during detention, and couldn’t integrate after release;

 cases of victims who were students and could not carry out their studies due to detention, and couldn’t integrate after release;

 cases of victims’ minor children, and who couldn’t carry out their studies and integrate, due to human rights violations.
