OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza will deliver remarks for the 14th Meeting of the Committee of Experts of the Mechanism for Follow-Up on Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption (MESICIC).

During the December meeting, which concludes the Second Sound of MESICIC review, the Committee will adopt the four country reports.
MESICIC was created in 2001 to monitor compliance with the 1996 Inter-American Convention against Corruption.
