Chile and Mexico are the First States to Consent to On-Site Visits in Fifth Round of OAS Anti-Corruption Mechanism
January 27, 2015
The governments of Chile and Mexico confirmed to the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) their consent to receive on site visits as part of the Fifth Round of the Mechanism for Follow-up on the Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption (MESICIC) of the OAS.
Both countries, the first to formally express their consent, notified the MESICIC Technical Secretariat of their decisions in accordance with the Methodology for Conducting On-site Visits. Both also consented to and received on-site visits during the Fourth Round of Review.
For the Fifth Round, which begins in March, the MESICIC Committee of Experts will review the implementation of the provisions in Article III, paragraphs 3 and 12 of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption, which refer to the needed instruction to government personnel and the study of preventive measures that take into account the relationship between equitable compensation and probity in public service. Moreover, the Committee will analyze the follow-up on the recommendations formulated to the States Parties in the Second Round, on topics such as public procurement, hiring of public servants, whistleblower protection and the criminalization of acts of corruption under the Convention.
The Technical Secretariat of the MESICIC expects to receive in the coming days similar notifications from other States, which have reported that they are taking the necessary steps domestically to formalize their consent.
