OIC: 21 States Sign Convention on Anti-Corruption Cooperation

During the Second Ministerial Meeting of Anti-Corruption Law Enforcement Authorities of OIC Member States, hosted by the State of Qatar in Doha, 21 OIC Member States signed, on November 27, 2024, the Makkah Al Mukarramah Convention on Anti-Corruption Law Enforcement Cooperation.

This signing of the Convention by 21 Member States, all on the same day, marks a historic event that will speed up the process of ratifying the Convention and bringing it into effect. It also reflects the Member States' awareness of the dangers of corruption and the crimes associated with it, as well as their commitment to enhancing anti-corruption cooperation.

In this regard, the General Secretariat urges other Member States to join in signing and ratifying the Convention, given its importance in providing a cooperation framework to face this serious scourge. It also calls on them to sign and ratify other agreements and statutes so that the OIC can expand the scope of cooperation to include all Member States across all fields.
