Peru to Host OAS Hemispheric Conference against Corruption
April 9, 2010
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, and the Permanent Representative of Peru to the OAS, Ambassador Hugo de Zela, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the Hemispheric Conference against Corruption. The event was held in Secretary General’s office at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C .
The Memorandum defines “the actions to be taken, terms and conditions shared by the Government of Peru and the General Secretariat” in the holding of the Hemispheric Conference against Corruption June 3 and 4 in Lima, Peru.
The Secretary General asserted that the Conference is “a priority for the OAS,” and noted that “the continent has made much progress on the subject of corruption. There is much more transparency, the countries and people know more and take more action against it.”
For his part, Ambassador de Zela said that to Peru the fight against corruption is “a central pillar in the general policies of the Peruvian Government, because it allows us to reach levels of integrity and transparency in public policy.”
The Conference, to be held in the framework of the Organization’s General Assembly from June 6 to 8 in Lima, is part of the project of technical cooperation developed by the Department of Legal Cooperation of the OAS Secretariat for Legal Affairs with the financial support of the Governments of the United States, Canada and Spain, and directly benefits Member States, as part of the Follow-up to the Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption, better known as MESICIC.
Also present at the ceremony were the President of the OAS Permanent Council and United States Permanent Representative, Carmen Lomellin, and the OAS Secretary for Political Affairs, Victor Rico.
