Morocco has issued a new decree to define the roles and responsibilities of its judicial liaison judges posted abroad, according to the official bulletin. The decree, published recently, aims to strengthen the country's judicial diplomacy by providing a clear regulatory framework for these magistrates.
Judicial liaison judges serve as key intermediaries between Moroccan and foreign judicial systems, facilitating cooperation in legal matters such as extradition, mutual legal assistance, and information exchange. The new text specifies their duties, including representing the Moroccan judiciary, promoting bilateral agreements, and assisting in cross-border cases.
This initiative aligns with Morocco's broader efforts to modernize its legal framework and enhance international judicial cooperation. The decree is expected to improve efficiency in handling transnational legal issues and reinforce Morocco's role in global judicial networks.
