Morocco was re-elected on Thursday to the executive committee of the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), represented by Mohammed Bachir Rachdi, president of the National Integrity, Prevention, and Anti-Corruption Authority (INPPLC).
This re-election, decided during the 14th General Assembly, reflects the international recognition of Morocco’s contributions to the prevention and fight against corruption, as stated in a press release by the Authority.
Morocco’s re-election to the executive committee not only confirms the renewed trust in the INPPLC but also underscores the importance of the synergies and cooperation that its representatives have developed within various IAACA structures, including the executive committee and the training and coordination committee at the African level, according to the same source.
This new term within this global network will undoubtedly provide Morocco with a new opportunity to strengthen its contribution to the international community’s efforts in the area of corruption prevention and combat, while benefiting from the most significant mechanisms and advancements in strategies and techniques for detection, investigation, and cooperation.
Founded in October 2006, the IAACA aims to promote the effective implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and to enhance international cooperation in this field. It comprises over 180 members, including law enforcement authorities, anti-corruption agencies, experts, and representatives from international organizations.
Since its inception, the IAACA has played a crucial role in strengthening international cooperation and in structuring an effective response in the field of corruption prevention and combat. Through high-level training programs, conferences, and symposia on significant issues, platforms for exchanging best practices, and the promotion of international standards, it helps member institutions to enhance their capabilities and harmonize their anti-corruption strategies.
The IAACA also works to support member countries in improving their regulatory and institutional frameworks, thereby enabling states to adopt more effective mechanisms to prevent and fight corrupt practices.
