AMAN has organized
for several seminars to be conducted in cooperation with Birzeit
University, Al-Tireh college, and Palestine technical college in
Ramallah as well as the American University in Jinin, Al Quds
University in Abu Deis and Al-Aqsa and Al-Azhar universities in
Gaza. The seminars introduced the UNCAC to over 300 students.
This event is part
of a series of seminars to be held in many other universities and
colleges in the West Bank and Gaza Strip during November and
December in order to reach out to the youth and alert them about
corruption in regards to the UNCAC.
During these
seminars, the lecturers explained the concept of corruption, its
components, causes and preventive measure for it. They also remarked
the significant articles mentioned in the UNCAC, especially the
articles that call on country members in the United Nations to
ratify laws and policies that limit this phenomenon in all its
forms.
It was elaborated
that the United Nations Convention against Corruption is the only
international legal document that covers the topic of corruption in
this comprehensive way.
Finally, there was
a discussion about the necessity of setting a national strategy to
combat corruption that requires fighting corruption in all its forms
and in all sectors that contribute to achieving a comprehensive
development. |
