OAS Anti-Corruption Experts Approve Reports on Visits to Brazil, El Salvador, Mexico, Bolivia and Paraguay
September 14, 2012
The Twentieth Meeting of the Committee of Experts of the Mechanism for Follow-up on the Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption (MESICIC) of the Organization of American States (OAS), concluded today with the approval of the reports on the five countries visited this year, Brazil, El Salvador, Mexico, Bolivia and Paraguay, and with the approval of a visit to Ecuador in 2013.
The Department of Legal Cooperation of the OAS presented to the Committee of Experts the reports of its visits to Brazil, El Salvador, Mexico, Bolivia and Paraguay, conducted during March and April 2012. During the visits, the officials of the Department of Legal Cooperation held meetings with over 30 public institutions and more than 90 senior government officials.
Additionally, the Committee of Experts approved an on-site visit to Ecuador, to be carried out during the next year, and also approved items of collective interest such as the continuation of the synergies between MESICIC and the Open Government Partnership (OGP). The OGP is a multilateral initiative promoted in September 2011 by the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, South Africa, the Philippines and Norway –which 47 other countries have since joined - which seeks to encourage concrete commitments from governments, involving civil society to improve transparency and access to information.
The Twentieth Meeting of the Committee of Experts of MESICIC took place between September 10 and 14 in the building of the General Secretariat of the OAS in Washington, DC. The Twenty-First Meeting of the Committee of Experts of MESICIC will be held in March 2013 in the same place. More than 50 delegates from 31 States parties to the MESICIC took part in the meeting.
In 1996, the OAS Member States adopted the first international anticorruption legal instrument, and in 2002, they instituted the mechanism which evaluates its fulfillment. Since that time, the Inter-American Convention against Corruption and the Follow-Up Mechanism for its Implementation (MESICIC), have represented the principal cooperation instruments for preventing, detecting, punishing and eradicating corruption in the Americas.
