||||||||
The Lima Declaration, a landmark document agreed
by the international audience with a standing ovation at the conclusion
of the 8th International Anti-Corruptiion Conference, in Lima (Peru) in
September 1997, represents the global communty's first attempt to articulate
a broad strategy for the combat of corruption, at the international and
national levels, in all sectors and with the participation and cooperation
of all walks of life. The leading international anti-corruption event was
attended by senior figures from international organisations and aid agencies,
representatives of the three branches of government, anti-corruption agencies,
ombudsmen, comptrollors, professional associations (law, accounting, auditing,
engineering), journalists, academics, and representatives of the private
sector and civil society. The Declaration is a blueprint for action and
progress will be reviewed when the Conference reassembles in South Africa
in 1999.
