NICARAGUA'S ANTI-CORRUPTION INITIATIVES GET OAS SUPPORT
September 25, 2002
The Organization of American States on Wednesday called on the Nicaraguan government and all sectors of society "to work together to fight corruption and ensure good governance, with full respect for the democratic order, the constitutional framework, and the rule of law."
In the resolution that the Permanent Council passed by consensus, the member states declared that the Inter-American Convention against Corruption is "an appropriate and effective instrument at the disposal of the member states of the Organization to enable them to combat the scourge of corruption with the utmost resolve." The resolution also reiterates that "the fight against corruption is an essential component of the exercise of democracy, the consolidation of institutions, and the strengthening of the rule of law."
Meeting in special session, the Permanent Council adopted the resolution after Nicaragua's Permanent Representative, Ambassador Leandro Marín Abaunza, outlined his government's anti-corruption initiatives which, he explained, were "vital to the preservation of democracy in these times of crisis in Nicaragua."
Expressing the support of the member states to the Nicaraguan initiatives, the Permanent Council also urged the international community, including financial institutions, to support the government of Nicaragua "in its efforts to govern effectively, in accordance with the principles contained in the Inter-American Democratic Charter and the obligations established in the Inter-American Convention against Corruption."
The Permanent Council Chairman, United States Ambassador Roger Noriega, and several member states representatives expressed their full support for the draft resolution, agreeing that fighting corruption is vital to strengthening democratic institutions around the Hemisphere.
Noriega said that by approving the resolution, the member states were taking another important step in their resolve to promote democracy in the region, as all the nations of the Americas in one way or another have had to deal with challenges stemming from corruption's corrosive effects.
