Abstract

02-03), which is derived from the spirit of Islamic Sharia, human experience, cultural values, and
Moroccan traditions and customs that strike in the depths of history.

development today, which led to the abolition of borders between countries and then the development
of migration in all its forms.
This situation necessitates Morocco to regulate migration and protect its borders by fighting against
clandestine migration flows and human trafficking to ensure its political stability and economic
prosperity as well as to remain a country of cross-fertilization of cultures and civilizations, and a place
conducive to cohesion and intermingling in an international system, where equality and the values of
solidarity and brotherhood prevails, forall this reasons, the Law 02.03 has been passed to specify the
manner of entry and residence of foreigners on Moroccan soil.
