OAS Committee of Anti-Corruption Experts Concludes 21st Meeting
March 23, 2013
The Committee of Experts of the Mechanism to Follow Up on Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption (MESICIC) of the Organization of American States (OAS) today completed its 21st Meeting in Washington, DC, with the approval of reports on Argentina, Costa Rica, Honduras, Peru and Trinidad and Tobago, countries visited in October 2012.
The Committee also approved two Draft Model Laws to offer to Member States, one concerning the Declaration of Interests, Income, Assets, and Liabilities of Persons Performing Public Functions; and one to Facilitate and Encourage the Reporting of Acts of Corruption and to Protect Whistleblowers and Witnesses. Both texts will be submitted to the 43rd OAS General Assembly to be held in Antigua, Guatemala, from June 4 to 6, 2013.
During the meeting, which lasted for a week, the Committee continued its consideration of issues of collective interest on the responsibility of the private sector in preventing and combating corruption and promoting public participation and transparency in the fight against corruption. Furthermore, the Member States of the MESICIC reported on their progress in implementing the recommendations made to them by the Committee.
The reports adopted by the Committee, as well as those previously approved, are available here. The reports are prepared by a committee comprising representatives of two Member States who visit a third party accompanied by officials of the Department of Legal Cooperation of the OAS, which serves as Technical Secretariat of the Mechanism. During “on site” visits, which always have the consent of the host country, the Commission maintains contacts with political and social actors in the country to fulfill its task.
The next meeting of the Committee, as decided this week, will be held in September 2013 at the headquarters of the OAS.
