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.
The Anti-Corruption Portal of the Americas, developed by the
Department of Legal Cooperation of the Secretariat for Legal
Affairs, provides information regarding transparency in public
administration and anticorruption cooperation, including
developments within the MESISIC framework and technical cooperation
efforts (left-hand menu), as well as links to the web pages of the
member states’ agencies with responsibilities in this area
(right-hand menu). |
