| Opportunities to use Restorative Justice in the Moroccan Criminal Justice ProcessThis paper, written for Search for Common Ground Morocco, explores some of the ways in which Morocco might benefit from integrating restorative justice into its criminal justice process. It argues that the aims and values of restorative justice are consistent with those of the Islamic and customary justice processes relevant to this jurisdiction. After describing the array of restorative models and the different points in the criminal justice process at which they can be used (from a UK perspective), the paper considers some of the challenges associated with designing, implementing and evaluating a restorative project in Moroccan Child Detention Centers. |
| Alternative Dispute Resolution & Mediation In Morocco – Merging Islamic & Contemporary Approaches: The Way ForwardIn recent years, the MENA region has undergone tremendous political transformations that have reignited debates and public deliberations of, amongst other things, the role of religion in public life. During the past three years, the region has witnessed the eruption of some of the most violent con ict it has ever seen. Unfortunately, religion has often emerged as a politically polarizing factor and/or a catalyst for violence. Fortunately, for Morocco, it has largely escaped such violent, political and social unrest. Nevertheless, debates about religious identities and their role in the public sphere and governance structures are becoming more prevalent. They are taking place in both a regional and national context wherein profound political and social discourse concerning power sharing are taking place. From an economic perspective, several challenges are facing the country both internally and externally. Indeed, more so than ever before, disputes ranging from the intellectual, the religious, the social, the political and the economic, are continually occurring. Thus, the onus on institutions and key stakeholders to manage and resolve contentious issues constructively as well as to facilitate cultures of peace has never been so high a priority. |
