Arab Justice Ministers welcomed a co-sponsored suggestion by Egypt's Minister of Justice Ahmed Mekki and Qatar's General Prosecutor Ali bin Fetais Almarri to hold a workshop in January 2013 at the Arab League headquarters under the aegis of the Arab League on ways to enhance Arab and International cooperation in the field of retrieving smuggled properties. Concluding its 28th conference, the Council also welcomed a proposal to set up an Arab court to be in charge of retrieving the money smuggled out of the Arab countries and follow-up any claim by an Arab member country to get its smuggled money from another Arab country. The Council of Arab Justice Ministers also condemned all kinds of terrorism, depicting it as a criminal act regardless of its motives and rejecting any confusion between terror and Islamic religion and the blackmailing attitude of terror groups using threat or killing of captives or demand of ransoms. The new executive bureau of the Arab Justice Ministers includes Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Iraq, Qatar, Egypt and Algeria.
