A/HRC/32/43/Add.1 the share comprised by renewable energy would increase from 4.8 per cent of consumption in 2014 to 12.8 per cent in 2020.9 32. The Framework Law on Environment and Sustainable Development, approved in January 2013, defines the rights and obligations of the State and its citizens relating to the protection and preservation of the environment and to sustainable development. It established the Environmental Police to strengthen environmental control and inspection, and introduced a green tax (the fiscalité verte). In addition, it promotes waste reduction, reuse and recycling, with a view to achieving more productive and resilient use of environmental assets. The Government is currently preparing a national strategy for the sustainable management of natural resources. 10 IV. International solidarity and cooperation in Morocco A. Framework for international solidarity and cooperation 33. The 2011 Constitution of Morocco, in its preamble, acknowledges the importance of international cooperation and reaffirms the commitment of Morocco to the strengthening of fraternity, cooperation and solidarity, as well as to constructive partnerships with other States. The Constitution underscores that Morocco commits to consolidating cooperation and solidarity with African peoples and States, especially countries in the Sahel and Sahara subregions, intensify close cooperation and partnerships with Euro-Mediterranean neighbours, and broaden and diversify its friendly relations and exchanges in the economic, scientific, technical and cultural fields with all the countries of the world. A particular emphasis is placed on strengthening South-South cooperation. The commitment to protect, promote and contribute to the development of human rights and international humanitarian law is also expressed in the Constitution. These constitutional provisions have been translated into a set of cooperation policies and activities, which will be discussed in the sections below. 34. According to the Government, the promotion and protection of human rights is a basic principle of the diplomacy of Morocco and its relationships with all of its partners at the United Nations level, and with its Maghreb, Arab-Muslim, Euro-Mediterranean and African neighbours, as well as within the framework of South-South cooperation and other partnership initiatives. The Independent Expert underscores that the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which Morocco has ratified, requires that States engage in international cooperation in order to enable the universal realization of economic, social and cultural rights, and commends the openness of Morocco in this regard. 35. Morocco has fully endorsed the principles set forth in the 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the 2008 Accra Agenda for Action. The Paris Declaration lays out a practical, action-oriented road map to improve the quality of aid and its impact on development. It delineates a number of specific measures for implementation and establishes performance indicators for assessing progress, which will be further discussed in the present report. It also calls for an international monitoring system to ensure that donors and recipients are mutually accountable. In 2008, Morocco reported on progress made in implementing the Paris Declaration. 9 10 “Morocco between Millennium Development Goal and Sustainable Development Goals, p. 14.
