Qatar Hosts Meetings to Enhance Legal and Judicial Alliance Among GCC States

The 4th and 5th meetings of the committee of heads of international cooperation and international relations departments within the ministries of justice of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries commenced in Doha and will continue until August 22.

The discussions at these meetings will focus on several topics related to strengthening legal and judicial cooperation among GCC countries.

This includes the proposed development of the agreement on the enforcement of judgments, letters rogatory, and judicial notifications within the GCC in both civil and criminal matters, as well as draft rules concerning juvenile offences across the GCC.

The meetings will also review a report on the 2024 meetings of the committee of heads of international cooperation and international relations departments within the ministries of justice, alongside the agenda for the 34th meeting of Their Excellencies and Highnesses, the Ministers of Justice of the GCC member states, scheduled to take place in Qatar this October.

The Assistant Undersecretary for Legal Affairs at the Ministry of Justice, Sheikha Hend Faleh Al Thani, emphasised the importance of these meetings, which precede the regular meetings of Their Excellencies and Highnesses, the Ministers and Undersecretaries of the Ministries of Justice in the GCC, to be chaired by Qatar this year.

She highlighted that the agenda of these meetings includes numerous draft laws that will further advance the path of joint legal and judicial cooperation within the GCC.
