MESICIC MAKES PROGRESS IN THE CONSIDERATION OF RESPONSIBILITY OF PRIVATE SECTOR IN COMBATING CORRUPTION
On September 11, 2014, during its XXIV Plenary, the Committee of Experts
of the MESICIC (Mechanism for Follow-up on the Implementation of the
Inter-American Convention against Corruption), delved further into the
topic of collective interest "the Responsibility of the Private Sector
in Preventing and Combating Corruption."
Participating were representatives of the International Chamber of
Commerce (ICC), the Center for Responsible Enterprise and Trade, the
Fairfax Group, and the International Bar Association, who gave
presentations on their organizations' progress with regard to the topic
and engaged in an informative dialogue with the States Parties to the
MESICIC.
This dialogue marks the second phase in a four-phase process
expected to culminate in the adoption of guidelines regarding basic or
fundamental principles or rules to be studied with a view to their
incorporation into domestic laws or regulatory frameworks aimed at
promoting, strengthening, or securing private sector responsibility in
preventing and combating corruption.
The presentations by the aforementioned international and private sector
organizations are posted
here.
The MESICIC is an intergovernmental mechanism, whose rules allow for
broad participation of non-governmental and civil society organizations.
