The Future of Democracy and Human Rights in the Arab World
CSID organized a conference in Casablanca, Morocco entitled "The Future of Democracy and Human Rights in the Arab World" on Oct. 22-23, 2010 in partnership with the Centre MADA.The choice of the theme proved both important and timely.
In recent years, many observers have come to believe that promoting democracy is no longer a priority for the U.S. administration. Others believe that the movement for democracy is part of an external agenda, that lacks depth and support inside the countries of the MENA region. This initiative is tangible proof of the degree of mobilization among the democratic forces, and it demonstrates that the struggle for democracy is ever present, regardless of the political situation.
