UAE Elected Chair of INTERPOL's Key Governance Committee
In a significant boost to its global standing, the United Arab Emirates has been elected to chair INTERPOL's newly established Committee on Governance, a core advisory body responsible for overseeing the organisation's governance framework. Represented by the Ministry of Interior, the UAE secured this leadership role through a decisive vote at INTERPOL's headquarters in Lyon, France. Lieutenant Colonel Dana Humaid Al Marzouqi, Director General of the International Affairs Office at the Ministry, won 67% of the votes from member state representatives, highlighting strong international support for the UAE's role in global policing affairs. The Committee on Governance, officially formed as a standing committee during the 92nd INTERPOL General Assembly in Glasgow in late 2024, succeeds the former Working Group on Governance. It plays a pivotal role in reviewing the INTERPOL Statute, General Regulations, and related legal frameworks. The committee advises on amendments, interpretation, and other critical governance matters, ensuring the organisation remains effective, transparent, and aligned with its strategic goals. As the first country to chair this standing committee, the UAE will hold the position for a two-year term, leading discussions, shaping decisions, and reporting to both the General Assembly and the Executive Committee. The role also involves coordinating with member states to drive forward good governance practices across the organisation. Composed of legal and governance experts from across INTERPOL member states, the committee ensures inclusive and balanced representation in shaping INTERPOL's future. This appointment underscores the UAE's growing influence on the international stage and reaffirms its commitment to global cooperation, strategic partnerships, and the advancement of international security frameworks.

Morocco's Abdellatif Hammouchi Receives Prestigious Arab Security Award in Tunisia
Rabat – Tunis hosted today a ceremony where Abdellatif Hammouchi, Morocco's Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance (DGSN), received the Prince Nayef First-Class Medal for Arab Security. The distinction recognizes key security figures who contribute to regional stability. The announcement took place during the 42nd session of the Arab Interior Ministers Council. Organizers described the award as a tribute to Hammouchi's role in advancing joint security efforts and reinforcing Arab presence in international discussions on security matters. Prince Nayef Medal ranks among the top Arab awards. Authorities reserve it for figures who exercise strong influence in safeguarding stability and solving security problems that extend across borders. Secretariat of the award reported the influence of Hammouchi and quoted what they referred to as 'effective efforts' in consolidating security cooperation on the regional level. In November 2024, Hammouchi headed Morocco's delegation to the 92nd INTERPOL General Assembly in Glasgow, Scotland, where the focus was on comprehensive security and international police collaboration. At the end of the session, Hammouchi was also presented with the INTERPOL flag, symbolically signaling the handover to Morocco, host nation of the 93rd General session in Marrakech in 2025. This is a reflection of Morocco's plans to broaden its role as a significant security pillar. As threats evolve, officials such as Hammouchi remain at the forefront of spearheading regional initiatives, highlighting the networked character of security work across borders.
