OAS to Hold in Colombia the Second Conference on the Progress and Challenges in Hemispheric Cooperation against Corruption
June 17, 2011
The Organization of American States (OAS), in collaboration with Colombia’s Presidential Program for Modernization, Efficiency, Transparency and the Fight against Corruption and the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will hold the “Second Conference on the Progress and Challenges in Hemispheric Cooperation against Corruption” on June 21 and 22 in the city of Cali. This event is part of the activities of the Mechanism for Follow-up on the Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption, known as MESICIC.
Participants at the event include national and international experts who will debate on diverse issues related to the Convention, among them: the protection of whistleblowers of acts of corruption; the mechanisms to promote civil society participation in the fight against corruption; the strengthening of the responsibility of the private sector; public servants’ sworn statements of interest; and training initiatives as useful tools for the prevention of this serious problem.
The conference, first held in Lima, Peru, in May 2010, will be inaugurated by the Secretary General of the OAS, José Miguel Insulza, and the Vice President of the Republic of Colombia, Angelino Garzón, and will be followed by discussion panels for a day and a half.

The Inter-American Convention against Corruption, adopted on March 29, 1996, was the first international legal instrument in this field, and explicitly mentions among its founding principles the recognition for the international reach of corruption and the need to have a tool such as this to promote and facilitate cooperation among countries to fight it.
