The Coalition for Accountability and Integrity-Aman organized a
training program that targeted law students in four universities in
the West Bank and two universities in Gaza Strip, entitled
"the
legal framework for combating corruption in Palestine."
More than 150 students participated in the program which included
six training sessions. Participants included students from the
universities of BirZeit, al-Quds, Arab-American, an-Najah, al-Azhar
and the Islamic university.
Dr. Yasir al-Amori, head of the law department at BirZeit
University, delivered the lectures in the West Bank universities, in
four sessions held at the headquarters of "Sharek Youth Forum". As
for Gaza, Mr. Salah Abdel Ati trained the students of al-Azhar
University, while Mr. Abdel Rahman Al'osouli trained the students of
the Islamic University, in two separate training sessions held at
the Aman headquarters in Gaza.
During the program, the concept of "corruption" was defined, and
corruption causes and forms were identified. Also, participants were
introduced to the United Nations Convention against Corruption,
where copies of this Convention were distributed to trainees, in
addition to discussing and analyzing the content of the Convention.
After discussion, recommendations were made on combating corruption,
within the theoretical framework of the training.
