Morocco's National Crime Observatory Awaits Final Approval to Launch

Morocco already has an organization capable of combating crime in all its forms. This is the National Observatory of Crime, which, according to the Minister of Justice, is awaiting a decree of creation to be operational.

Mohamed Ben Abdelkader indicated this week in Rabat that the official announcement of the establishment of this Observatory cannot be made without the final approval of the creation decree. He specified that "the decree has been finalized and is awaiting its presentation to the government."

"The Observatory was designed and created to serve as a framework for the fight against crime, but also to lay the foundations of criminal policy in Morocco," continued the minister, before adding that this Observatory follows recommendation 92 of the national dialogue for the reform of the judicial system.
