Morocco is a party to the 1988 UN Convention. While Morocco's Parliament has not yet passed legislation to implement the Convention, its laws do provide general authority to prosecute drug producers and traffickers. Two hundred internal checkpoints are scattered throughout the region. Royal Army soldiers staff observation posts along the Mediterranean coast, and the Navy carries out routine sea patrols and responds to sightings by the observation posts. In addition, the GOM expanded cooperation with European law enforcement.
Corruption is believed to be widespread at all levels.
The GOM recently launched a country-wide campaign against contraband. Agreements and Treaties. A mutual legal assistance treaty between Morocco and the United States entered into force in 1993. In 1993, the USG sought assistance from the GOM in obtaining public records relating to the previous conviction in Morocco of a defendant then standing trial in the US for drug trafficking. The GOM responded in a timely and cooperative manner.
