Morocco maintained its 92nd position in the 2024 Global Rule of Law Index with a score of 0.48, unchanged from last year. The country ranked 6th in the Arab world, with Denmark, Norway, and Finland leading the global rankings.
The Moroccan government adopted draft law no. 03.23, amending criminal procedure law no. 22.01, which restricts investigations into public property offenses to specific authorities. This has sparked criticism from NGOs, who argue it undermines civil society's role in holding officials accountable for corruption.
Many parliamentarians are either behind bars or under prosecution since the last general elections in Morocco, with the National Rally for Independence (RNI) at the top of the list, followed by the Authenticity and Modernity Party, the Constitutional Union and the Popular Movement.
Morocco scored 38 points on Transparency International's 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), ranking 97th out of 180 countries and territories worldwide. This score remains unchanged from 2022, signifying no progress in curbing corruption.
