could come long way already. But I also think respecting and listening
even when you do not necessarily agree with the others. I think in this
short time this is the best I can try to answer and this is what I have
also seen in my own experience. I had a pleasure of working with Mr.
Hammarberg for almost four years in Council of Europe and he was
absolutely wonderful communicator, he really knew how to talk to
people I saw people crying when he was giving speeches probably
myself as well, he was very effective in that and I think it is because
he didn’t speak as, you know, he didn’t speak legalistic speak he really
spoke to the heart of people.

CHAIR: Mr. Benzakour, I have a question. Ethics is mentioned here a little.
We know that in many countries like Turkey, there is an ethics committee. At
the same time, we have not talked about replications. Everything depends
on each other and in your experience, in a country with a kingdom, and
within the context of the Mediterranean Association, you said that Morocco
leads this field. What is the message that Morocco can relay better
according to its traditions or unique and different structures?

Vis-à-vis such challenges, what is the message that could be delivered in
better fashion? This is a deep thought but if you could elaborate on that, it
will be a good idea to think about.

ABDELAZİZ BENZAKOUR (Ombudsman of Morocco) 3 rd INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OMBUDSMAN INSTITUTIONS

Well, I will try to give an answer to your question but very simply I
should say that this is my personal opinion. If there is no ethical value
there is no human right. That is so simple because this way or that
way we need a proper functioning, we need it and we all need it. And
at the same time it is a necessity for us it is something it requires a
wholeness in itself. So, you should follow human rights as well as the
other rights. In Morocco in our office we reflected about this issue
and actually I have handed out a small brochure to you which is about
the ethics. Behaviors and approach to certain cases the responsible
people how they should have a mode of conduct whether it would be a
foreigner or a Moroccan individual how they should work together and
come together, well, I have the French and English version, we have 17
principles that we rely on. So, this are 17 principles here I should to
refer to them again, the ombudsman institute as a mediator should
have a code of conduct.
