Rabat – Morocco’s Council of Councilors will organize the sixth International Parliamentary Forum on Social Justice on February 21 in partnership with the Economic, Social, and Environmental Council (CESE).
Launched in 2016, the forum coincides with the International Day of Social Justice scheduled for February 20.
This year’s edition is under the theme, “Social Dialogue and the State’s Social Challenges.”
It takes place in a context marked by the emergence of new economic, social, and cultural rights and challenges resulting from the digital revolution and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the House of Councilors reported in a press release.
The forum, the statement added, will see the participation of Moroccan public officials representing the government, Parliament, House of Advisors, and CESE in addition to representatives of trade unions and the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises.

Moroccan and foreign experts in the social field, as well as officials from international organizations, will also attend the event.
As an international event, the forum will be marked by the honorary presence of the Speaker of the Parliament of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Sidie Mohamed Tunis, and Secretary-General of the Arab Federation of Trade Unions.
Over three sessions, the participants will discuss the place of social dialogue in institutional agendas at international and national levels, the role of social dialogue to end the negative effects of crises on production and the labor market, and prospects for the transition to a new generation of social dialogue in the context of strengthening of the welfare state, the statement added.
The institutionalization of social dialogue was the focus of the International Parliamentary Forum on Social Justice’s second edition. Yet the achievement of social justice, sustainable development, and the institutionalization of social dialogue remain important today amid recent political, economic, and social changes, the press release concluded.
