		Berber languages also have two types of states or cases of the noun, organized ergatively: one is unmarked, while the other serves for the subject of a transitive verb and the object of a preposition, among other contexts.

	Middle East Report Online: Morocco’s Justice and Reconciliation Commission, by Susan Slyomovics
		The Moroccan version, now integrated into the country’s penal code as Article 218, defines terrorism as any premeditated act, individual or collective, whose purpose is “attacks against public order through terror or violence.” This phrasing is reminiscent of French colonial-era statutes that enabled the capricious incarceration of generations of Moroccans.
		Given the extensive literature by political prisoners and numerous articles listing torturers that are published regularly in the Moroccan press, this prohibition reflects less the commission’s desire to protect the rights of due process, even for high officials known to have been torturers, than the immense power and reach of television.
		Moroccan perpetrators are under no compulsion to step forward because reconciliation possesses no legal standing to request amnesty or avert prosecution; it is a moral principle incumbent on the victim, not the torturer, as part of a political compromise.
