BELIZE AND
URUGUAY AGREE TO RECEIVE ON-SITE VISITS BY THE OAS ANTICORRUPTION
MECHANISM
Belize and Uruguay have joined the list of States Parties to the
Mechanism for Follow-up on Implementation of the Inter-American
Convention against Corruption (MESICIC) that have given their consent to
receive on-site visits as part of the review process that the Mechanism
is to carry out as part of its Fourth Round as of 2012.
Through their Permanent Missions to the OAS, these two states formally
notified the MESICIC Technical Secretariat of this decision in
accordance with the
Methodology for Conducting On-site Visits
adopted by the Mechanism’s Committee of Experts in March 2011, which, in
addition to regulating the way in which states are to indicate their
consent, contains the provisions necessary for attaining its goals.
Over the coming days, the Technical Secretariat expects to receive
similar notifications of permission from many of the remaining states,
which have reported that they are taking the steps needed domestically
to formalize their consent. The states that have to date formally
expressed their acceptance include Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil,
Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay,
Saint Kitts and Nevis, the United States, and Uruguay.
