The Moroccan delegation has once again pledged its unwavering support for the protection of children caught in the crossfire of armed conflicts during a high-level session at the African Union’s Peace and Security Council (AU-PSC).
Addressing participants at the meeting focused on child soldiers in Africa, Morocco highlighted the urgent need to tackle the root causes that push minors into armed groups, emphasizing prevention as a cornerstone of long-term solutions. Officials stressed that children remain disproportionately vulnerable in conflict zones, facing threats such as forced recruitment, physical harm, and interrupted education—each of which jeopardizes their prospects for a stable future.
Morocco’s stance underscores its broader commitment to human rights on the continent, advocating for policies that prioritize the rehabilitation and reintegration of young victims into society.
