"Palestinian
Parliamentarians Against Corruption" is the national chapter of
Arab Region Parliamentarians Against Corruption (ARPAC) - the
Arab Chapter of GOPAC. It was established in Beirut in November 2004 during
a meeting entitled "Parliamentarians
against Corruption: Improving Transparency and Accountability in the
Arab Region." This meeting was attended by 40 Parliamentarians
representing the parliaments of eleven countries: Jordan, Bahrain, Algeria, Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia, Sudan, Palestine, Kuwait, Egypt, Morocco, Yemen and Lebanon.
Objectives:
ARPAC’s main objectives consist of encouraging
the founding members to establish national chapters, persuading national
chapters to build coalitions with the media, civil society movements and
academics, and calling on the Arab governments to ratify the United
Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). In addition, ARPAC
arranges national and regional workshops to promote methods
to fight corruption and to build the capacity of members of Arab
parliaments to be better equipped to fight corruption and to promote
transparency and accountability in the Arab region. |
