Brazil today became the 27th Organization of American States (OAS) country to ratify the Inter-American Convention against Corruption.
Ambassador Valter Pecly Moreira deposited the Brazilian instruments of ratification with Secretary General César Gaviria, during a brief ceremony at OAS Headquarters. He remarked afterwards that his government has placed top on the hemispheric effort against corruption, a very serious scourge in the Americas.
Brazil has always put top priority on internal and external initiatives to root out corruption, explained Ambassador Pecly Moreira, noting the intense debate that took place in the Brazilian society and in Congress before the treaty was ratified. "This ratification reflects the consensus of all sectors of Brazilian society."
He also referred to President Fernando Henrique Cardoso's recent establishment of a special Cabinet-level office to handle complaints about corruption, saying it was one more indication of the government's commitment in this area. "Fighting corruption and impunity in our Hemisphere is a crucial aspect of democracy and respect for national institutions," the Ambassador went on to state, adding: "The Inter-American Convention against Corruption lends us valuable support to protect those values and to achieve those common objectives in our region."
The Inter-American Convention against Corruption was adopted in March 1996 in Caracas, Venezuela. It entered into force in March 1997.
