These meetings, held at the U.S. Department of State, the World Bank Group, the World Justice Project (WJP), the Washington College of Law at American University, and the Open Government Partnership, provided an opportunity to review the efforts undertaken by the Kingdom, under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, in preventing and fighting corruption through a reform process reinforced by Morocco’s ratification of the United Nations Convention against Corruption.
This process was enshrined in the 2011 Constitution, which established the INPPLC within the institutional architecture of good governance and granted it a clear constitutional foundation as part of the framework supporting integrity, prevention, and the fight against corruption.
Mr. Benalilou also presented the missions and competencies of the INPPLC, while highlighting several relevant international indicators, notably Factor 2 of the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index, related to the absence of corruption.
The visit of the INPPLC delegation to these institutions and organizations in Washington also made it possible to learn about the latest global developments in anti-corruption efforts, current challenges, and to strengthen the authority’s analytical capacities, support its strategic vision, and explore opportunities for institutional cooperation and multilateral partnerships.
This working visit also aims to reinforce Morocco’s presence within international anti-corruption bodies in a spirit of initiative and partnership, consolidating its position within the dynamic of international cooperation in this area, through an institutional vision linking the national dimension of integrity with the international dimension of reform, and reflecting the complementarity between national priorities and international cooperation, according to the INPPLC statement.
The visit also reflects Morocco’s clear institutional commitment to global anti-corruption efforts, both as an initiator, a contributor, and a beneficiary.
