OAS General Assembly: anti-corruption action needed to counter insecurity


Transparency International (TI), the anti-corruption organisation, will present a series of vital recommendations to the Organisation of American States (OAS) 40th General Assembly to be held in Lima from 6-8 June.

Despite consistently identifying corruption as a fundamental problem jeopardising security and development in the region, concrete action by OAS member states remains insufficient. The Inter-American Convention against Corruption has existed since 1996 and more than ten years on, many of the OAS recommendations for implementation remain unmet.
