Fight against terrorism, procedural safeguards, and individuals’ rights: a comparison between Morocco and Spain
7 May 2026. From 18:30 | Conference | Spanish | IEMed
The legal systems of Spain and Morocco are quite different, however they are required to cooperate in both the substantive aspects of criminal law (Penal Code) and the procedural aspects (Criminal Procedure Law), in order to combat terrorism effectively. This cooperation requires a minimum degree of policies harmonization between the two countries in this field. Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council can provide a basis for achieving this goal.
