The global anti-corruption community meets for the 14th biennial International Anti Corruption Conference from 10 November to 13 November, 2010, to share ideas and map out the way forward.
Under the banner “Restoring Trust: Global Action for Transparency”, more than 1,000 conference participants are gathered in Bangkok to address these challenges head on. Participants and visionary speakers from civil society, business, government, academia and the media will address the following issues at six plenary sessions, 15 special sessions and 40 workshops.
A key objective of the IACC is to bring practitioners and decision makers together to create change and confront the view that corruption cannot be beaten. The 14th IACC offers multiple platforms to foster creativity and thematic exchanges.
Since 1983, the conference series has served as the leading international platform for those committed to advancing the global governance agenda. The importance of transparency and anti-corruption has steadily risen on national, regional and international agendas.
The 14th IACC is being hosted jointly by the IACC council, the Royal Thai Government, the Thai Ministry of Justice, the office of the country’s National Anti-Corruption Commission, Transparency International and Transparency international Thailand.
A much anticipated highlight of each IACC is the conference declaration. The IACC declarations serve as testimony to the spirit of the conferences. The Guatemala Declaration drawn up at the 12th IACC, for instance, records the commitment of Central American countries and the Dominican Republic to a corruption-free zone. Drawn up during the conference, the Bangkok Declaration will capture the essence of the 14th IACC discussions.
