Azerbaijan’s representatives in the Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC), MPs Chingiz Ganizade and Zahid Oruj, will visit Vienna, Austria, to attend the conference on “Strengthening the capacity of parliamentarians, judges and prosecutors to prevent corruption in their own ranks: emerging trends from two years of GRECO Round IV evaluations”.
Under the auspices of the Austrian Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, the conference, to take place on April 10-11, will be jointly organised by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Justice, the Group of States against Corruption of the Council of Europe (GRECO), and the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA), with extra financial support from the Government of Monaco. In addition to taking stock of national experience and main findings in the prevention of corruption in respect of members of parliament, judges and prosecutors, it also will provide an opportunity to review policies, exchange information on good practices and identify future action in the light of GRECO’s Fourth Evaluation Round.
The conference will open with a high-level segment which will bring together several Ministers and high-level officials. In the following expert sessions, GRECO delegates of all member States will work together with experts and representatives from the different sectors concerned to highlight achievements in the following areas: the prevention of corruption in respect of members of parliament, and the prevention of corruption in respect of judges and prosecutors.
The conference is expected to bring together around 70 participants from the GRECO member States, as well as those from international organisations and other relevant stakeholders. The working languages will be English and French with additional interpretation from/into German provided during the high-level segment.
