1- Introduction :
10 September 2013, the official announcement of the royal initiative marks the
beginning of a qualitative transformation in the politics of Morocco concerning
approaches to migration, which previously has been reduced in its security side.
Migration requires diagnostic questions, proposal of solutions and remedies. To do
so, a national plan based on a thorough and comprehensive study of the different
phases of the experiment is required. It must take into consideration society and its
different sensitivities, and to identify indices of acceptability of the phenomenon
which is part of the social reality.
For successful migration and integration policy, the government should be open to
active associations of civil society, and to develop a clear and coherent national
policy to crystallize migration and asylum as human rights, to promote the rights of
foreign migrants in Morocco and Moroccan emigrants abroad regardless of their
administrative situation, ensure their acquired rights to full citizenship, and
participate actively in the development of society.
From its national and international experience in the field of migration, Beni
Znassen Association for Culture, Development and Solidarity (ABCDS) submits to
public debate its memorandum gathering proposals, designs for a just political and
humanist Morocco on migration and asylum, based on a national, strategic and
participatory model.

5. 4
2- Fundamental guiding principles: Paragraphs
— Accuracy of all parallel interventions in the field of migration to have a
realistic and reasonable situation.
— Developing a clear fundamental notion answering all questions to master
the foundations of the future organization of migration depending on a Moroccan
model.
— The subject of migration is still fertile for scientific research in order to
develop a best practical approach that can be an appropriate reference, able to
define in advance the different mechanisms of migration
— Consolidation of open and participatory dialogue to strengthen the position to
rationalization and precision of goals and factors, helping to develop a
comprehensive design, thorough and accurate.
— Precision and clarification of positions in the light of developments and
possible transformations especially that the problem is multi-dimensional. The
Moroccan approach in this area should be realistic and clear defining the
requirements to achieve results and scientific answers.
— Asking not to duplicate the experiences and approaches does not mean not
to adopt most of these experiences but to do it in a framework of a national policy.
— The strategic choice emerges from the Moroccan environment.
— Migration issue is not limited to technical and administrative operation. This
is why we insist on the social aspects, based on realistic estimates and
methodologists and intellectual managements and coherent action plans, within
the framework of a strategic approach to avoid any possible problems.
— Need for effective involvement of national civil society specialized in the
development of organizations and institutions and in the planning of programs
and action plans, along with strengthening and by changing the arrangements for
implementation strategy.
— Develop and activate the mechanisms that ensure the right of access to all
documentation, all agreements and developments relating to migration.
— The development of the strategy must reflect the Moroccan strategy of
advanced regionalization.

6. 5
3- Towards a policy of an integrated national
approach
The action and planning are necessary to circumvent the various migration issues
given the situation of Morocco as a transmitting and receiving country of migrants
and as a transit country, this requires an integrated strategic approach to the
various migration issues:

— Moroccan migrants in an irregular situation;
— Moroccan migrants returning to the country or deported;
— Migrants residing in Morocco in a regular situation (including refugees);
— Migrants residing in Morocco illegally;
— Migrants seeking international protection.
Recommendations:

situation and put their cause in the agenda of negotiations and agreements.
— Statistics and data of different categories should be precise and reviewed
annually, divided according to gender, age, social status, hobbies (Language-belief-
culture, nationality ...).
— In the absence of precise figures on Moroccans deported, estimated at 15,000
annually (Eurostat), being more exposed to psychological stress and
marginalization, it is necessary to intervene and take necessary measures to help
them reintegrate .
— Need to have accurate statistics on the number of Moroccan prisoners
abroad, depending on the age, sex and duration of imprisonment, country, city ,
and check their prison conditions and providing them the necessary assistance .
— Determining the number of Moroccans detained in detention centers
specifically designed for undocumented migrants and check their conditions of
detention and provide the support and assistance they need .

6- Fight against racism for a society free from
discrimination
The international community as a whole , suffers significantly different forms of
racism which is due generally to a sense of racial superiority , cultural, religious or
even "social jealousy" .. the situation in Morocco is it an exception ? !
Morocco knows no organized , secret or public racist activity, but that does not stop
to study deeply the problem to prevent and anticipate any possible consequences ,
especially as cultural levels, living standards and the internal dynamics of culture
could generate clichés -behaviors ...
Several voices are Calling to pass a law criminalizing racism , because of
increasingly recorded cases in racially motivated attacks , and the return of waves of
(Takfirists fatwas) against politicians, artists and activists from civil society..
For this orientation and this trend not to be reflected on foreign non- Muslims, it is
necessary to take all necessary measures.
Recommendations:
— The Need of a law criminalizing racism, discrimination, anti-Semitism and "
takfirimse ";
— Creation of a National Observatory for the fight against racism and
discrimination, to tackle all racist and discriminatory position through education
and awareness of the value of cultural diversity, freedom of conscience and the
dangers of social exclusion, and encouraging, at the same time, dialogue and
encounter between minorities and host communities.

7- The integration : Dimension of development
Integration is Generally defines as the coexistence, cohabitation and the positive
reception between cultural environments in the same geographical area on the
basis of mutual respect of different values. The High Council for Integration (HCI)
French, defines, in its report for 1991, entitled "Towards a new integration model," as
being to encourage active participation in society as a whole of all men and women
called to live permanently in accepting back without reservation, and focusing on
the similarities and convergences in rights and duties ...
According to political leaders and experts , experiences and European approaches
showed failure : social and spatial exclusion , extremism , racism , xenophobia and
psychological tensons due in particular to cultural trauma among foreigners ...
All this confirms that integration in the northern countries remains a problem . In a
statement the French Prime Minister published on the website of the French
Government on 13 December 2013: "We want to restart the republican integration
model, which is down today." In Germany , the term integration is perceived
negatively dependent on what is in the minds of many people , problems and
intractable contradictions . in Switzerland , the popular referendum on February
2014 approve the initiative from the right wing " against mass immigration ." This
shows that Europe's failure in migration policy is widespread.
So, will Morocco adopt the same policy that proved to be a failure?
Recommendations:
At the organizational level:
— Creation of a national agency responsible for the integration and
reintegration for migrants residing in Morocco and Moroccan migrants in the case
of voluntary or forced return to the country.
— Creation of " Regional Directorates of integration" responsible for planning
the policy to adopt in terms of integration ,submit concrete proposals and
coordinate among the various stakeholders . " Sub-committees or sub- provincial
working groups " can be created , composed of specialists from various
administrations and departments as well as representatives of municipalities,
migrant communities , specialized associations and experts , to draw up annual

reports and studies while ensuring the management and monitoring of action
plans and measures .

necessary for migrants in native languages, about the political system, the legal
and constitutional values, customs and Moroccan traditions, the region and the city
of residence, the national language learning centers, administrative services, health
services and the judicial system, relevant associations, facilities for culture and
sports ... so the guide must include the regulatory laws related to the rights of
migrant workers and integration programs.

8- Management of cultural diversity and pluralistic
composition : building a strategy of civilized
cohabitation.
Civilized cohabitation is a qualitative property correlating with its base objectives
and realistic plans , at the local regional and national levels . It requires knowledge
, science and technology to study the reality of cultures with all its components , all
levels and contradictions included to build the potential to change negative
perceptions , clearing all discriminating standards on one hand and accumulating
positive concepts on the other. And strengthening of the principle of equality and
belonging to the nation and mutual respect to each other, enhancing the culture of
unity against the unique culture or culture of congruence and symmetry , as well as
enhancing the common positive vision of different cultural and historical references
along with managing its diversity.

13. 12
Questions construction of complementarity issues and
challenges :

Setting objectives:
Concerns are related to targets for the construction of the base of an open
environment , valuing diversity and recognizing the homogeneity of norms and
values, and because the strategic planning for the construction of civic cohabitation
is based on the results of studies and scientific analysis , it must address two

Abroad and Migration Affairs and the Ministry of Communications for the
establishment of a media strategy to fight against stereotypes and prejudices
against migrants, particularly those from sub-Saharan Africa to achieve a better
understanding of migration and the rights of migrants and refugees, with the

9- Political Content of the new migration approach
In order to control migration, European countries have opted for more restrictive
migration policies. Complication of administrative procedures, media campaigns
increasingly alarmist and strengthened security measures , including the creation of
detention centers specifically designed for undocumented migrants . Among the
methods used in the " war on migrants , the most important "shield" in terms of
logistics and military equipment and financial resources, is the European Agency for
the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders the European
Union ( FRONTEX) . All this suggests that Europe is experiencing a kind of "
Migrophobia ."
The strategy of the European countries is mainly based on the externalization of
borders and the enlargement of the shield area to include neighboring countries
and the southern shore of the Mediterranean including Morocco, and the transfer of
its security approach by exploiting the financial resources and the signing of
agreements. the most important agreement is "The mobility Partnership EU- Morocco
", signed in June 7, 2013 , which seeks to control migration and mobility.
This purely security approach is ignoring the humanistic dimensions that Europe
seeks to involve Morocco in it , puts us in front of several questions:
 What are the expected results of the subordination of Morocco to " FRONTEX”
system ?

16. 15
 Can Morocco withstand the financial pressure and human rights impact
resulting from this approach?
 If Morocco is still a gateway for arrivals from the South said "poor" Will it turn
into a home to embrace the crises experienced by the " rich " North?
 How will Morocco bear the costs of the consequences of the " war on
migrants ' in the North and its negative impact on diplomatic relations that
we are look forward to strengthening and deepening with Sub-Saharan
countries and Africa in general?
Considering deficiency elements in the European approaches and the failure of all
the proposed scenarios, pushes Morocco to prepare for an approach based on the
exploitation of positive values of the Moroccan society that is based principally on
openness, peace, coexistence and tolerance … and coordinate on the light of African
common and integrated principles in the framework of “ the African alliance for
migration and development”
Recommendations:
— Creation of a national strategic institution of migration, regulating the entry
and stay of foreigners in charge of protecting the human rights of migrants,
Moroccans and foreigners, including in its membership all departments and
national institutions concerned with migration , including civil society as advisor
for monitoring and evaluating the national migration policy and its implementation
in coordination with the authorities , as well as the development of studies and
researches , and improving the quality and exchangeof data on migration.
— Guarantee the right to migration and movement by removing all items related
to the criminalization of migration and forms of detention.
— The importance of integration and the mechanisms for its implementation
must be highlighted.
— Access to education at all levels , health and legal services, regardless of the
administrative status of the migrant.
Additional measures :
— Creating of effective mechanisms to ensure protection of migrant workers
against all forms of abuse, harassment and violence.

17. 16
10- African Alliance for Migration and Development
The new migration and asylum policy in Morocco, based on humanitarian norms
and international law , is the basic foundation for the kingdom to defend the
initiative to create an "African Alliance for Migration and Development " in order to
deepen a "common African vision " on migration and to mobilize support .
Active civil society can play an important role in developping a just and humanistic
asylum and immigration policy common among African countries, given the
presence of active regional associations working for the rights of migrants as the
"Network of Maghreb- Sahel on migration ."
Recommendations:
— Making September 10 of each year, a day of African migration.
— Deeping the partnership between Morocco and the African economic
groupings , particularly the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS
) and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS ) to include the
free movement people between Morocco and the Western and Central African
countries ( only 5 out of 15countries member countries of the ECOWAS are
exempt from visa to enter Morocco) in the horizon of exemption of visa for citizens
of the rest of African countries to enter Morocco .
— Creating a "Fund for African integration" dedicated to the development of
African economies and the development of local communities.
— Join and support the " Nansen initiative ", launched in October 2012 with the
aim to establish a consensus among states on how best to deal with the cross-
border movement in the context of sudden disasters or slow onset ,in the
perspective of implementation of a common African strategy.
— Creation of a legal mechanism for the protection of displaced people across
the borders in the case of natural disasters.
— Encourages tourism in the West African- Moroccan space targeting low-
income people .
— Creation of the African Observatory for Human Trafficking .

strategic objectives using information technology and communication and all
programs and mechanisms that improve cooperation in the field of observation,
coordination and develop systems to protect victims.
