On May19, 2008 The Coalition for Integrity and Accountability-AMAN
held a training course on ""The legal framework for combating
corruption in Palestine" for 30 Law students attending Al Azhar
University in Gaza.
The above mentioned program came in the context of advocating for
the UN convention against corruption project, which AMAN is
currently implementing in cooperation with the UNDP-PAPP, and funded
by UNDEF.
The first training session aimed at defining corruption, diagnosing
and analyzing causes contributing to its spread, its various forms,
and impacts on the Palestinian society. The second session addressed
the main articles of the UN Convention against Corruption, and the
extent Palestinian policies and legislations coincide with these
articles.
The interaction and discussion between trainees and trainer, Mr.
Salah Abed A-Atti, resulted in outlining important methods which can
be followed to prevent corruption by eradicating opportunities which
provide fertile grounds. Also Anti-corruption strategies and
measures, believed to be more applicable in Palestine, were
outlined.
At the end of the
training course, the participants received copies of the UN
Convention against Corruption as a legal reference.
It is important to
note that AMAN is in the process of coordinating for another course
targeting Law students in the Islamic University in Gaza to be
implemented in the near future.
