EXPERTS AT OAS TO DISCUSS PROGRESS IN
COMBATING CORRUPTION IN HEMISPHERE
February 10, 2003
Government experts from around the Americas today opened a meeting at Organization of American States (OAS) Headquarters to discuss an evaluation process for measuring progress in fighting corruption in the Hemisphere.
The Third Meeting of the Committee of Experts of the Follow-up Mechanism for Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption, from February 10 to 13, is considering among other things implementation reports by Argentina, Colombia, Nicaragua and Paraguay.
The experts will also consider reports by states parties on their progress in implementing the Convention. They will also consider the draft annual report on the Committee's activities and its 2003 work schedule. A major objective of the follow-up mechanism is to assess the countries' efforts to implement the anti-corruption treaty, which was adopted in 1996. The treaty entered into force a year later and has been ratified by 28 OAS member countries.
Under the treaty, member states commit to specific anti-corruption measures that include requiring senior public officials to declare assets, and governments must ensure openness in purchases and impartiality in employment policies.
Opening the meeting, Chairman of the Committee of Experts Carlos Balsa of Uruguay welcomed new delegations to the sessions. He said that “once the formal structure is in place, drafting recommendations to the member states—the most tangible part of our work—can then begin.”
In his remarks, OAS Assistant Secretary for Legal Affairs Enrique Lagos said the two previous meetings provided the Committee of Experts with “solid bases” on which to successfully execute its work. “I think the countries are well aware that corruption is a common enemy that knows no borders, and that only by each country’s own commitment and through joint action by the international community can this grave problem be effectively tackled,” Lagos stated.
