OAS and International Anti-Corruption Academy Sign Cooperation Agreement
December 9, 2010
The Organization of American States (OAS) and the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA) today signed an agreement to collaborate in the area of corruption in an organized and coordinated way.
The text of the Memorandum of Understanding between the hemispheric organization and the International Academy foresees joint training and research activities on the subject of preventing and fighting corruption; the exchange of knowledge and experiences, taking into account above all the developments produced in the framework of the Mechanism for Follow-up on the Inter-American Convention against Corruption (MESICIC); and providing learning and training opportunities to those designated by their countries to integrate the Committee of Experts of this mechanism.
The document was signed by the OAS Secretary for Legal Affairs, Jean Michel Arrighi, and the Chair of the Steering Committee of the IACA, Martin Kreutner, during the Third Meeting of the Conference of the States Parties to the MESICIC, being held today and tomorrow in Brasilia. The Minister of State of the Office of the Comptroller General of Brazil, Jorge Hage Sobrinho, participated as witness of honor.
The IACA was formed recently in Vienna as the outcome of efforts by the United Nations, the Republic of Austria, and the European Anti-Fraud Office, among others, to serve as a center of international, intercultural, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral excellence to conduct research, teaching and training against corruption.
The MESICIC, which began to operate in 2002, is an intergovernmental body with broad opportunities of participation for civil society, established in the framework of the OAS to provide support in the implementation of the measures of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption. It is organized by the Department for Legal Cooperation of the OAS Secretariat for Legal Affairs, and also serves as a forum for the exchange of information and reciprocal cooperation among the countries that are part of it, including best practices in the prevention of and fight against corruption.
