•
Need to develop a methodology to ensure participation of the public in
anti-corruption efforts and holding government officials to account.
4. Fighting corruption while safeguarding human rights
•
UNCAC does not contain explicit human rights language. This should be redressed
in the follow-up, including the upcoming conference of States parties;
•
It is very important to develop an implementation programme for UNCAC that
ensures protection of human rights;
•
Institutions similar to ombudsman should be established.
Follow-up
Actions proposed by participants included:
•
Encourage States, international organizations and other actors to integrate the
recommendations from this Conference into their work;
•
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights should present a
report containing these conclusions to the United Nations Human Rights Council
which may consider further steps in tackling this subject, including: disseminate the
conclusions of the Conference nationally and internationally and create a working
group to focus on this question and make recommendations in relation to the role of
OHCHR in dealing with the linkage between corruption and human rights.
