Morocco
Royal speech Addressed to the Special session of the
General assembly
On HIV/AIDS

Delivered by

Lalla Joumala Alaoui
Head of the delegation of the Kingdom of Morocco
To the Special Session

New York, 25 Juin 2001


Mr. Chairman,

His Majesty Mohammed VI, King of Morocco, has entrusted me with the honour of reading out the following royal speech on his behalf and conveying His
Majesty's greetings and consideration for this important gathering.

Mr. Chairman
Your Majesty, your Excellencies, your Highnesses Your Excellency, the Secretary General
Ladies and Gentlemen

I am pleased to say how much the Kingdom of Morocco appreciates the decision taken by the United Nations General Assembly to convene a special session on the subject of AIDs/HIV. This is a commendable initiative for which I wish full success. I also hope this UN gathering will manage to mobilize resources which are necessary to fight this deadly epidemic and thus overcome the blatant contradiction which consists in hailing health as one of the human rights, while there is actual discrimination between developed countries which have been able to contain the spread of AIDs thanks to their potentialities and to the use they make of medical research, on one hand, and the developing countries which are powerless to check the spread of the disease, because they lack minimum prevention and treatment capacity. This is particularly true for the African continent which is facing this ominous danger.

We are trying to cope with the constraints of globalization and to keep abreast of the developments taking place around the world. In addition, we are endeavouring to keep up with the migration flows which have now made it impossible for any nation to remain immune from this epidemic.

In this context, providing medical protection as well as supplying the necessary drugs and medical hardware, require susbstantial resources from the national budgets, in addition to exemptions from taxes and customs duties for those medical supplies which are deemed necessary, especially drugs on which depends the citizens' health, without any discrimation based on social, geographic or ethnic grounds.

In this regard, we commend the praiseworthy steps taken by the Secretary General of the United Nations to set up an international fund in order to enable AIDs - afflicted nations among developing countries to secure antiretroviral drugs.

Morocco has developed, as part of its effort to fight AIDs, a comprehensive strategy based on detection, therapy and prevention. It calls for the involvement of all actors, including government agencies and the civil society, in large - scale awareness - raising campaigns through the media and among young people and risk populations at large.

At the same time, we are responding to the concerns set out in the draft UN Pledge, being considered at the current session.
In expressing satisfaction with the UN initiatives, Morocco hopes to get the preferential prices granted to other countries. It also calls for the setting up of additional international cooperation and coordination mechanisms to fight this epidemic which poses a threat not only to our development effort, but also to health safety in the world.

Given the experience, skills and know-how accumulated by Morocco and its professional labour force over the years, and considering its continuous monitoring, evaluation and adaptation effort with respect to the initiatives and actions undertaken in this field, Morocco is ready to put its modest experience at the disposal of the international community, and more particularly the African nations, in confirmation of its strong commitment to the principles of effective solidarity which should guide us all in our endeavours.

Wassalamu Alaiku?.

can muslimah talk about taboo issues,for example AIDS

[Asma2]

It is nice from KM6 that he pays attention to AIDS/HIV. Although Morocco has a low rate of AIDS they have to pay attention to it.

In fact, it was really late Princess Lalla Fatima Zohra (Princess of the Poor) who spoke as a first about AIDS back in 90’s and Arab world was in quite shock. She simply cared about the well-being of people. :flower:

[Ulika]

can muslimah talk about taboo issues,for example AIDS

why not. We can talk about everything but just some people are very conservative and such people do live in the West too.

[laila_sahrazade]

can you talk about everything publicly like West?.

yes we can !! in the islam there is no shame to talk about sex in public if you ever heard an imam talking about men and woman , and when some one asked them a question about this they just answer this question openly. But you may not bother the world with stories about having sex with many boys or something like that. . i hope you understand what i mean.

29/06/04 - HH Princess Lamia Solh, President of the Organization alaouite of protection of the blind men in Morocco (OAPAM), chaired, Monday in Témara, the end of the year 2003-2004 ceremony of school at the Institute Mohammed VI for education and the schooling of the blind men.

After having listened to a talk on the teaching, cultural and artistic activities and of leisures organized by the establishment, HH Princess Lamia Solh gave the prices to the 8 new graduates of the institute. The rate of success to the baccalaureat was of 80 % at the time of the first session. HH Princess Lamia Solh , in addition, paid a visit in the various dependences of the institute which ensures a teaching specialized 164 pupils (88 with the primary education, 43 with the secondary and 33 with the cycle of secondary education and qualifying formation).

In a short speech pronounced on this occasion, the director of the Institute, Mr. Mohamed Sossi Alaoui stressed that the visit of HH Princess Lamia Solh is an honor and an encouragement for all the pupils so that they make more efforts to obtain better results and to make a success of their studies.

He added that the actions undertaken by the OAPAM under the presidency of HH Princess Lamia Solh in favour of the institute lie within the scope of the orientations of HM King Mohammed VI aiming at raising the level of the teaching exempted in the establishment school nationals of the blind men.

The director noted that the efforts made by the OAPAM, supported by the teachers and the pupils, gave satisfactory results during the examination of the baccalaureat whose rate of success is remarkable in comparison with the percentage obtained on a national scale.

[Asma2]

I just notice that Princess Lamia Solh doesn’t have title Lalla. I know that Lalla has more religion (Islam) meaning. Is that means she is not Muslim?

[stacy]

I thought Lalla was a title given to daughters of kings and female descendants of kings - and Lalla Salma being the first woman not born into the royal family to be given the title?
