A/HRC/17/2 New Zealand encouraged Nauru in its efforts to improve its human rights framework, notwithstanding a number of constitutional constraints. 262. Morocco welcomed with satisfaction Nauru’s favourable reaction to many recommendations, especially those relating to human development and refugee issues. Morocco thanked Nauru for having accepted its recommendations on the insufficient presence of women in Parliament and on the establishment of a national human rights institution. According to Morocco, the international community was called upon to favourably reply to Nauru’s request for technical and financial assistance. In doing so, it would be crucial to take into consideration the multiple economic, climatic and geographic constraints that had obliged Nauru to take responsibility for the protection of some vulnerable groups, such as migrants and refugees. Nauru’s approach to the refugee issue was a best practice. Morocco noted that Nauru had also embarked on a throughout revision of its Constitution. 3.
