A/HRC/44/27 corruption. Media freedom is another area where efforts in favour of human rights and against corruption complement each other. 33. Several submissions included information on reforms made or new laws adopted to improve access to information. In the submissions several measures were highlighted, such as limiting clearly the exception to access, making access to information free of charge, entrusting an independent body to review the implementation of the law and adopting a proactive approach to sharing information. 34. Electronic tools are important for increasing access to information. Examples included various e-governance tools such as online procurement systems, budget monitoring tools and online asset declaration systems. 35. Guatemala reported on the Presidential Commission on Open and Electronic Government, which had been established with the aim of supporting the ministries and institutions of the Executive Branch to implement, in a coordinated manner, measures deriving from international instruments in the areas of open government, transparency, egovernance and anti-corruption. Institutional actions to foster open government had been developed to guarantee human rights and thereby strengthen the democratic political system. Guatemala highlighted the importance of coordination with civil society organizations in that regard. Guatemala also highlighted the importance of monitoring and transparency in a variety of areas, and of disaggregated data. 36. Other positive examples mentioned were educational and training activities combining anti-corruption education with human rights education. UNODC shared information on its Education for Justice initiative, which underscores the linkages that exist between corruption and human rights. Education on rule of law issues encompasses education on rights related to and affected by crime, including corruption. The Centre of Analysis and Research in Human Rights and the International Network of Human Rights recommended that human rights-based awareness campaigns and educational programmes be developed, including on the negative impact of corruption on the enjoyment of human rights. 37. Public awareness-raising efforts and studies on corruption and human rights too were identified as good practices. For instance, UNODC was working with the Corruption Eradication Commission of Indonesia on a study of corruption in the logging industry. Illegal logging, which is sometimes fuelled by corruption, disrupts livelihoods and violates human rights. The study will inform policies addressing the issue of illegal logging. Another example provided by UNODC relates to its awareness-raising activities in SouthEast Asian countries on corruption and trafficking in persons. A regional event conducted in 2018 resulted in a mapping of where corruption occurs throughout the human trafficking chain and informed policymakers on possible solutions at the policy and law enforcement levels. 38. Participation is another fundamental good governance principle, a right enshrined in article 25 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and a State duty under article 13 (1) of the United Nations Convention against Corruption. Good practices in this regard include the provision of technical assistance to States parties to the Convention, civil society organizations and other non-State actors to actively take part in anti-corruption efforts and policymaking. UNODC, together with the Association for the Implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC Coalition), trained, in April 2019, 27 civil society representatives and 26 government representatives from 15 African countries on implementing the Convention. In another example of a multi-stakeholder capacity-building effort, UNODC has lent its support to the Fiji Council of Social Services, an umbrella body of civil society organizations that organized a dialogue on addressing corruption and strengthening the accountability, transparency and legitimacy of the civil society sector to ensure efficient and effective advocacy work. 39. The European Union and its member States called for more effective civil society involvement in the second review cycle of the United Nations Convention against Corruption. In their view, constructive dialogue between States parties and civil society will improve the impact and implementation of the Convention. 8
