UN General Assembly
1963

139. This Constitution, which was approved by the Moroccan people on 7 December 1962, makes Morocco a constitutional, democratic and social monarchy. At the international level, the Constitution sets the achievement of the Greater Maghreb and of African unity as Morocco's objective, while at the national level it guarantees to all our citizens freedom of opinion, freedom of religion, freedom of expression in all its forms, freedom of assembly and association, and freedom to join any trade union or political organization of their choice. The reshaping of the country's political and social structure, in particular through the establishment of a Parliament, may raise some problems of adaptation, but Morocco is embarking upon this stage of democratizing its institutions with calm and resolution. 140. The efforts made by individual States with international assistance must not blind us to the beneficent action in the development field carried out by international bodies, in particular the United Nations and its specialized agencies.
