ECUADOR TO RECEIVE ON-SITE VISIT OF THE
OAS ANTICORRUPTION MECHANISM
The
Republic of Ecuador joined the 29 State Parties to the OAS
Anticorruption Mechanism (MESICIC), who gave their consent to receive
on-site visits that this Mechanism has developed as part of the review
process for the Fourth Round of Review.
On Friday September 14, as part of its Twentieth Meeting, the Committee
of Experts of the MESICIC welcomed Ecuador’s willingness to receive, in
the second half of 2013, the representatives of Chile and Venezuela as
members of the review subgroup as well as the OAS General Secretariat,
through the Department of Legal Cooperation of the Secretariat for Legal
Affairs, in its capacity as the Technical Secretariat of the MESICIC, to
evaluate, on-site, the principal anti-corruption oversight bodies.
On-site visits are an innovative mechanism whose purpose is to have
complete and objective information from States and learn, first hand,
their best practices and possible difficulties in implementing the
Convention. In this regard, visits have already been carried out in
Brazil, El Salvador, Mexico, Bolivia and Paraguay. In the coming weeks,
on-site visits will be carried out in Peru, Costa Rica, Argentina,
Trinidad and Tobago and Honduras.
