The Second Conference of the States Parties to the UN Convention against Corruption is about to start in Bali, Indonesia. One of the key topics of discussion is monitoring, or how best to review countries' progress in using the Convention to prevent corruption.
Dimitri Vlassis, Chief of UNODC's Crime Conventions Section, explains that the notion of monitoring is generally difficult to introduce in the context of the United Nations because our work is based on negotiation and mutual understanding. For this reason, the Convention against Corruption stopped short of establishing a structured monitoring mechanism and left it to the Conference of States Parties.
