Morocco - Conscientious objection to military service

Connection e.V. reports to the UN Human Rights Committee (144th session)

by Connection e.V.

(April 2025) Compulsory military service has been reintroduced in the country in 2019. The report (contribution to the list of issues) aimed at suggesting questions to be addressed by the Committee to the country during its review, such as requesting information on the current regulations for conscriptions, professional soldiers and reservists.

We also suggested to inquire legislative provisions concerning the right to conscientious objection to military service for any person affected by any kind of military service, including conscripts, reservists, and volunteers / professional members of any kind of armed forces. The actual review will take place around the end of the year.
