Effective Prosecution of Corruption: Report on the Master Training Seminar
Asian Development Bank | June 2003
Abstract
Over the last decade, societies have realized to what extent corruption has damaged their welfare and stability. Governments, the private sector, and civil society alike have consequently declared the fight against bribery and corruption a priority in their overall endeavor and politics.
In the Asia-Pacific region, 21 countries have translated this commitment into action by jointly developing and endorsing an Anti-Corruption Action Plan in the framework of the ADB/OECD Anti-Corruption Initiative for Asia and the Pacific. This plan comprehensively assembles the regions’ objectives and needs for reform to develop effective and transparent systems for public service; to strengthen anti-bribery action and promote integrity in business; and to support active public involvement in the fight against corruption.
One of its most central aspects is the need to render investigation and prosecution of corruption more effective.
