In this piercing analysis, we delve into the heart of the international legal quandary surrounding Israel's genocidal onslaught in Gaza, unraveling the intricate tapestry of narratives deployed to obfuscate its egregious crimes against the Palestinian populace. This study boldly contends that even as Israel and its cohorts cloak their actions under the guise of "self-defense," the sheer brutality of their deeds shatters the veneer of legitimacy, casting doubt upon this pretext and other sacrosanct notions enshrined in the annals of international discourse. Central among these is the revered paradigm of "international humanitarian law," a bastion of justice now imperiled as facts and testimonies from the crucible of Gaza's warfare lay bare a stark truth: might, not morality, has become the arbiter of international conduct, leaving the edifice of global legality in tatters.

This paper examines the extent to which the “wishes produced” by the constitution are consistent with the practices of democratic transformation in Morocco after more than ten years of its entry into force. The study is based on the hypothesis that this supreme law bears the seeds of developing political life and qualifying actors even before its implementation, but only practice helps activate its perspective for managing power and ensuring rights and freedoms. Although the link between the constitution and its context does not appeal to some constitutional jurists, the paper argues that attributing the 2011 constitutional reform to a specific party rather than another involves a narrow perception, and attention must be paid to the inconsistency of its arguments.

تحولت الممارسة الاحتجاجية في المغرب إلى استراتيجية للتعبير عن الرفض والاختلاف والصراع الاجتماعي والسياسي القائم داخل المجتمع المغربي. لكن ما يسترعي الاهتمام في هذه الاستراتيجية أنه كلما تدخلت قوات الأمن لدفع المشاركين في الاحتجاج بالفضاء العام إلى التراجع عن مطالبهم أو الدعوة إلى عقلنتها، تعالت الأصوات المستنكرة لتصاعد انتهاك الحق في الاحتجاج السلمي. تتناول هذه الدراسة واقع ممارسة الحق في الاحتجاج في المغرب وعلاقته بالمقاربة الأمنية التي تسلكها الإدارة لتدبير الممارسة الاحتجاجية في علاقتها بطريقة إعمالها للنصوص القانونية المنظِّمة لها من جهة وبمدى نجاح القضاء في مهمة التوفيق بين السلطة وإكراهاتها والحرية وانزلاقاتها من جهة أخرى.

Since the mid-1990s Morocco has traversed several stages of political and constitutional reforms. These were characterized by a restructuring of the political field in keeping with constitutional methodology and political consensus and were the precondition for the process of rapprochement between political actors. However, if this rapprochement or political openness transformed the electoral process into something diminished in practical terms, it in turn intensified the expansion of the protest arena, the accumulation of skills and experience among protesters, the development of more independent coordination capabilities, and the weakening of the regime's polarizing tendencies. This development imposes upon the political class a renewal of its discourse and means and modalities of communication, in the short and medium terms, to prevent continued erosion of its credibility.
