"Integrity": Enhancing international cooperation contributes to advancing investigations into cross-border corruption cases

The Public Authority for Combating Corruption, “Nazaha,” affirmed yesterday the importance of the Globe Network in enhancing rapid and effective international cooperation and building professional relationships based on trust among anti-corruption bodies, thereby advancing investigations into transnational corruption cases.

This came in a speech delivered by Dr. Majid Al-Daihani, Deputy Chairman of Nazaha, during his participation heading a high-level delegation from Nazaha at the Seventh General Meeting of the Global Network of Anti-Corruption Enforcement Authorities, held at the United Nations Office at Vienna from August 25 to 28.

Nazaha stated in a press release that Al-Daihani outlined, during a panel discussion dedicated to the launch of the Guide to Cooperation Practices in Transnational Corruption Cases, the role of Nazaha and its experience in investigating transnational corruption crimes, emphasizing the importance of the Globe Network in supporting cooperation alongside official channels.

The statement added that the meeting witnessed the signing of a model agreement by several member states to enhance international cooperation mechanisms, alongside the launch of the second edition of the Guide to Cooperation Practices in Transnational Corruption Cases.

It clarified that the meeting’s program included specialized discussion sessions on the use of artificial intelligence in law enforcement, as well as bilateral and multilateral meetings to address operational and strategic issues.

Nazaha noted that the Globe Network aims to facilitate cross-border cooperation in corruption cases by enabling direct communication among law enforcement practitioners in member states, allowing them to exchange information and coordinate efforts rapidly.

It pointed out that the network comprises 252 anti-corruption bodies from 137 countries, operating under the United Nations Convention against Corruption and within the umbrella of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
