Anti-corruption experts from around the Americas adopted reports on the progress against corruption in four countries – Chile, Ecuador, Panama and Uruguay – during a weeklong meeting at the Organization of American States (OAS).
The meeting, from February 2 to 6, took place within the framework of the Follow-Up Mechanism for the Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption. Through this process, the Committee of Experts analyzes anti-corruption measures taken by each country and proposes recommendations to improve implementation of the treaty. Representatives from civil society also contribute ideas and recommendations.
Twenty-eight OAS member states are parties to the Follow-Up Mechanism and to date, reports have been adopted on eight countries.
During last week’s meeting, the experts also exchanged ideas and experiences on how to improve public-sector hiring practices to make them more transparent.
“This follow-up process to the Inter-American Convention against Corruption ensures that the treaty is not simply theoretical, but that it leads to the adoption of new laws and concrete measures to comply with its provisions,” said Jorge García González, who heads the OAS Technical Secretariat for Legal Cooperation Mechanisms.
The Committee of Experts also developed recommendations to strengthen the Follow-up Mechanism for the Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption, carrying out a mandate from last month’s Special Summit of the Americas in Monterrey, Mexico. The hemisphere’s presidents and prime ministers affirmed the importance of the Follow-up Mechanism and called on the next Conference of States Parties, which will take place in Nicaragua mid-year, to consider measures to strengthen the process.
The new reports adopted by the Committee of Experts will be published within the next few days on the OAS Web page (www.oas.org, see “Corruption” under OAS Issues), along with the previous reports on Argentina, Colombia, Nicaragua and Paraguay.
