On December 15-19 in Doha, Qatar, the National Whistleblower Center (NWC) will be participating as a civil society group in the 11th Conference of the State Parties (CoSP 11) to the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC). As an approved NGO “observer” for the Convention, NWC is working with a network of anti-corruption organizations, agencies, and human rights defenders to support the introduction of an urgent resolution supporting the implementation of critically needed whistleblower/anti-corruption practices to combat transnational crimes such as bribery and money laundering.
Enforcement of laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Anti-Money Laundering protections are at a critical crossroads, and the need for increased enforcement should be high on the Convention’s agenda. With diminishing U.S. leadership on the fight against international corruption, it’s more crucial than ever for liberal democracies to take the lead in rolling out an effective international anti-corruption regime. CoSP 11 is an important stage for working towards this “Reverse Marshall Plan.”
Read our resolution for “Enhancing Foreign Bribery and Money Laundering Prosecutions.” If interested in signing your organization, government entity, or news media group as a signatory to the resolution, please see this form.
Please also consider donating to our CoSP 11 Fundraising Campaign today. Your support is critical for our success at the conference and all proceeds will go towards travel expenses in Doha.
