8th IACC Lima, 7 - 11 September 1997

IACC Theme: The State And Civil Society In The Fight Against Corruption

IACC Rationale:
Ama sua, ama llulla, ama quella. Don’t be a liar. Don’t be a thief. Don’t be lazy. The ancient laws of the Inca were the watchwords chosen by the Peruvian Organising Committee for the 8th International Anti-Corruption Conference, which took place 7-11 September, 1997, in Lima, Peru. The Conference, which was organised by a Peruvian Organising Committee (consisting of public and private sector institutions as well as civil society organisations) with the programmatic and technical assistance of the IACC Council, brought together over 1000 delegates from 93 countries - including eighty TI delegates - to discuss anti-corruption strategies and to work on common approaches. It culminated in the formulation of an unprecedented international anti-corruption work programme - the Lima Declaration Against Corruption.

The 8th IACC Declaration sets out the recommendations following the Conference discussions on the means of containing corruption in all its manifestations around the globe and uniting in a vision of an era of international and national co-operation in the twenty-first century in which the evil of corruption is suppressed.
