Interpol has awarded Abdellatif Hammouchi, Morocco’s director general of national security and territorial surveillance, its highest distinction, the Interpol Medal of Honor.

The decoration, presented during the closing session of Interpol’s General Assembly in Marrakech, is the organization’s top medal granted to distinguished international figures.

In a statement, Interpol said the honor recognizes Hammouchi’s “exceptional efforts to strengthen security and stability at the regional and international levels,” as well as his role in promoting “partnership and solidarity between Arab states and Interpol.”

The organization added that the medal reflects its appreciation for Hammouchi’s “firm commitment to supporting international law-enforcement cooperation,” and his “effective contribution to building a safer and more just world.”

Interpol also highlighted his leadership in advancing Arab and international security coordination and supporting joint efforts to combat transnational organized crime.

The ceremony was attended by Interpol’s president, secretary general, members of the executive committee, and delegates from member states, along with heads of participating regional and international organizations.
