Kuwait Cabinet approves draft law on combating cross-border crime
The draft decree-law aims to establish a clear legal framework for facilitating international judicial cooperation, particularly in combating cross-border crimes and recovering criminal proceeds. It reaffirms Kuwait's commitment to fulfilling its international obligations in the fight against transnational crime.
According to the Cabinet statement, the proposed law addresses practical challenges that have emerged due to the lack of comprehensive legislation governing requests for international judicial assistance. This includes various forms of cooperation such as extradition, mutual legal assistance, and the transfer of convicted individuals.
The government emphasized that the initiative aligns with Kuwait's participation in a broad range of international, regional, and bilateral agreements related to judicial cooperation. The new legal framework is expected to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Kuwait's legal collaboration with other nations.

Marcos Set to Deliver Fourth SONA Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to deliver his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA). With only three years left in his term, the details of this year's address remain largely under wraps. In a brief social media post the night before, Marcos simply said he is 'all set to deliver the message of Bagong Pilipinas.' Traditionally, SONAs serve two key purposes: to report on the administration's accomplishments over the past year, and to lay out plans and priorities for the future. It's also a platform where major announcements—whether economic, legislative, or political—are often made.
