GUATEMALA
VOLUNTEERS TO BE REVIEWED AT THE START OF THE FOURTH ROUND OF REVIEW OF
THE OAS ANTI-CORRUPTION MECHANISM
Guatemala has volunteered to be
reviewed at the start of the Fourth Round of Review of the Follow-up on
Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption (MESICIC),
which will begin in 2012 and include, for the first time and as part of
its review process, on-site visits to the States Parties of the MESICIC.
The
Central American country officially expressed this interest, taking into
account that the Committee of Experts of the MESICIC will consider, at
its Nineteenth Meeting (September 12 – 16, 2011), the sequence in which
the States Parties to the Mechanism will be reviewed in the framework of
the Fourth Round and that the procedure that the Committee has followed
in the three previous rounds is to analyze, first, those States that
volunteer and then the other States in the chronological order of
ratification of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption.
The Technical Secretariat of the MESICIC expects to receive over the
coming days similar notifications from other States that have also
expressed their interest in being the first ones to be reviewed in the
next round of the Mechanism.
