A Model for Peace: Morocco Sets the Standard for Post-Conflict Recovery at IPU Assembly
Rabat – In a world where conflict often seems endless, Morocco's strategy for fostering sustainable peace and development is standing out as an inspiring model. This was evident on Sunday at the 150th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where Mustapha Reddad, a member of the House of Representatives, shared his country's efforts to combat the long-term consequences of conflict on development. Morocco has emerged as a regional champion in conflict mediation and post-conflict reconstruction. Far from being a spectator in global peace processes, Morocco has played an active role in resolving crises in Libya and across Africa, bringing both diplomacy and action to the table. Reddad, representing the National Rally of Independents (RNI), captured the essence of Morocco's approach when he said, 'It's not enough to talk about peace; we must create it through tangible actions.' His words resonated with the international community present at the summit, as he clarified that Morocco's response to conflict is rooted in an integrated, long-term vision. This commitment goes beyond dialogue. Morocco's investment in infrastructure development in conflict-affected areas is part of a broader, much-needed shift towards reconstruction. Whether it's rebuilding transportation networks, improving access to essential services, or simply offering a sense of normalcy, Morocco has shown that peace requires more than just political agreements. It demands rebuilding the very fabric of society. Reddad called these efforts 'messages of hope' for the people who have lived through decades of instability. But Morocco isn't offering a perfect blueprint; it's presenting a call to action. 'Our success isn't just for us,' Reddad said, 'It's an invitation to the world. The challenges we face today are global, and the solutions must be too.' This bold vision was backed up at the IPU summit when the Standing Committee on Sustainable Development adopted a resolution calling on parliaments to play a more active role in post-conflict reconstruction. The resolution underlines the need for parliamentary action in rebuilding societies and fostering sustainable development. With the world looking for solutions to the widespread devastation caused by conflict, Morocco's approach stands as a testament to the power of diplomacy, development, and human investment in creating lasting peace. The IPU, founded in 1889 and based in Geneva, gathers lawmakers from across the globe and fosters parliamentary diplomacy aimed at addressing the world's most pressing challenges. And in Tashkent, Morocco's message was clear: building peace requires action, commitment, and the willingness to invest in a better future. Tags: Global PeaceIPU TashkentMoroccopost conflict recovery
