NICARAGUA ASSISTS EFFORT TO IMPLEMENT ANTI-CORRUPTION CONVENTION
June 25, 2002
Nicaragua's government today presented the Organization of American States with a $3,000 contribution to the follow-up mechanism to implement the Inter-American Convention against Corruption. The OAS treaty was adopted in Caracas, Venezuela in 1996.
Ambassador Lombardo Martínez presented the donation to Secretary General César Gaviria during a brief ceremony in Washington, saying Nicaraguan President Enrique Bolaños places the highest priority on fighting corruption, an OAS priority.
The Nicaraguan diplomat recalled that the follow-up mechanism was put in place during his chairmanship of the OAS' Working Group on Probity and Public Ethics. The mechanism, he explained, "is intended to monitor whether countries are honoring obligations they undertook when they signed and ratified the Convention."
Thanking the Nicaraguan government, the Secretary General described the donation as "a very important gesture, which we greatly appreciate," and noted that the follow-up mechanism was among the first mandates from the Third Summit of the Americas, held in Quebec City, Canada, in April last year, to be implemented.
The Nicaraguan government has made similar donations in the past to OAS initiatives to strengthen democracy in Haiti and to the Organization's Fund for Peace that supports efforts at peaceful settlement of border disputes between member states.
Twenty-six OAS member countries have so far signed the Inter-American Convention against Corruption. Twenty-four have ratified.
