12th IACC Guatemala City, 15 - 18 November 2006

IACC Theme: Towards a Fairer World: Why is Corruption Still Blocking the Way?

IACC Rationale:
“When we arrived in Guatemala, we asked a fundamental question: why is corruption still blocking the way towards a fairer world? The 12th IACC has made clear that there are no simple answers.”  “But three simple truths emerged: countries cannot afford to be complacent about corruption; they must now move beyond expressions of political will to take concrete actions; the people must demand accountability.”

Honourable Justice Barry O’Keefe, Chairman of the International Anti-Corruption Conference Council.

The 12th IACCconcluded with a spotlight on the importance of respect for the law and education. The importance of young people and a pressing need for leadership  by governements, business and civil society in the fight against corruption shapes the concluding declaration of the conference.
