14:00-15:45 Panel I: Prevention as a key tool in the fight against corruption: sharing of
experiences and best practices
Venue: Blue 1 and 2, 2nd Floor, Park Inn
Language: English/Arabic/Chinese/French/Russia/Spanish
Annotation:
The Marrakech Declaration on the Prevention of Corruption, adopted during the Fourth Session of
the Conference of the States Parties to the Convention (COSP/UNCAC), encouraged States parties
to integrate anti-corruption policies into broader crime prevention and criminal justice reform
strategies and public sector reform plans.
Anti-corruption measures should be embedded in coordinated policies rather than carried out in
isolation or in an ad hoc manner. Article 5 of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption
reinforces the spirit of the Convention in preventing and combating corruption not as an end in
itself, but, more broadly, to promote integrity and accountability as well as the proper management
of public affairs. Therefore, national anti-corruption policies face the challenge not only of building
connections between the realms of corruption prevention and law enforcement, but of linking these
efforts to broader governance reforms.
In order to carry out these obligations effectively, States often develop and implement
comprehensive anti-corruption strategies to address prevention, detection and investigation of
corruption.
Speakers may wish to focus on sharing their national efforts to support the development and/or
revision of comprehensive national anti-corruption strategies and strengthening the coordination
role of anti-corruption agencies.
For the consideration of the panel’s topic a brief introduction will be made by the moderator of the
panel, Dr. Eduardo Vetere, Vice President of the International Association of Anti-Corruption
Authorities.

THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ANTI-CORRUPTION AUTHORITIES
Education is a crucial element in any attempt to effectively address the phenomenon of corruption.
Through the transmission of knowledge regarding the risks of corruption and its effects, it is not
only possible to foster attitudes that do not tolerate corruption and develop skills, but it will also
promote a culture of confidence and lawfulness and allow individuals to resist social and cultural
pressures when faced with corrupt practices.
The international anti-corruption community recognizes the significant role of education in fighting
corruption, and that criminalization and punishment are not sufficient on their own. In its resolution
5/5, the Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption
recalled that States parties should continue to strengthen awareness-raising measures and education
throughout all sectors of society, and encouraged States to promote educational programmes and
make other efforts to foster a culture that promotes respect for the law and integrity.
For the consideration of the panel’s topic on tackling corruption through education: a multi-
stakeholder approach to prevention, a brief introduction will be made by the moderator of the panel,
Mr. Dimitri Vlassis, the Secretary of the Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations
Convention against Corruption. The Secretary will elaborate on recent work carried out by
UNODC in the area of anti-corruption education and the latest developments in this regard.
