الملخص الإنجليزي

Non-discrimination against women is a fundamental principle of the United Nations.

As a result, on December 18, 1979, the General Assembly adopted The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination (UN-CEDAW).

CEDAW is the international human rights treaty that was created to show how women’s rights are linked to human rights, and to legitimate the aspiration of global women’s movements.

Despite its limitations, CEDAW is an important document of international law.

However, it remains one of the most controversial international conventions.

It is still among the conventions with the highest number of reservations, especially among dualist countries, like Morocco, which advocate the superiority of domestic laws over international law.

One of the aims of the thesis is to look at measures and initiatives undertaken by the Moroccan government in fulfillment of its obligations under CEDAW.

However, the main focus of the thesis is to examine the role that Moroccan women’s non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have played in this regard.

The thesis argues that implementing CEDAW is a collective action involving the state and grass root actors such as women’s NGOs, among others.

The thesis stresses that women’s NGOs have a pertinent role in the process of enforcement of the application of CEDAW despite the many difficulties encountered with the state, within their own organizations and with the patriarchal society at large.

The thesis ends up with a set of recommendations to strengthen the potential role that Moroccan women’s NGOs could play in making the state conform domestic laws to international conventions, namely CEDAW, and preparing society for change.
