OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro called on countries of the region to redouble their efforts in strengthening transparency, accountability and integrity in the Americas, putting into practice the mandates of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption.
The Organization of American States (OAS), Secretary General, José Miguel Insulza, celebrated International Anti-Corruption Day (December 9) calling on the international community to reaffirm their commitment to fight corruption and to “jointly tackle this problem that affects us all and that we must all work together to solve.”
