Dili, 29/06/2012–During the 3^rd session of the Implementation Review Group (IRG) of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC)  in Vienna, Timor-Leste and Liberia were selected  to jointly review the implementation of this convention by  Angola. The joint selection took place on 18 June 2012 through a new drawing of lots before the representatives of the State Parties to the Convention.

The review process of Angola, as part of the First Cycle Review Mechanism on UNCAC’s implementation, is expected to begin later this year with the preparation of a self-assessment by that country, followed by a desk review.  For reviewing countries like Timor-Leste, it will   entail studying and analyzing laws and regulations, and other evidence related to UNCAC implementation by the reviewed country.  It may also involve an on-site visit to the reviewed country if Angola wishes to do so. The UNCAC’s review focuses on Chapter III regarding Criminalization and Law Enforcement and Chapter IV on International Cooperation.

Timor-Leste submitted last week a list of five governmental experts for this review to the Secretariat of the Review Mechanism in Vienna

Timor-Leste’s role as one of the UNCAC reviewers is the country’s first experience to carry out such international task. The Anti-Corruption Commissioner Adérito de Jesus Soares said, “Timor-Leste’s participation in this international taskforce shows that the country is very responsive and committed to implement its duty as a State Party to the Convention.”

Last year, Timor-Leste differed to become a State Party Reviewer for Cape Verde. It decided to be first reviewed by Namibia and Fiji and to give more time to prepare and to learn from other countries’ experience before exercising its duty as reviewer.

Timor-Leste’s participation in the IRG meeting was represented by Deputy Commissioner of the Anti-Corruption Commission José António de Jesus das Neves and was accompanied by UNMIT Judicial Affairs Officer (Institutions), Claudia Sayago.

Dili, 29/06/2012–Timor-Leste’s Executive Summary reviewing its self-assessment on the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) was adopted  during the recent Implementation Review Group (IRG) meeting in Vienna. Timor-Leste is the fourth country among 41 State Parties under review in 2011 to publish its Executive Summary. The other three countries are Australia, Switzerland and Georgia.

The Anti-Corruption Commission has been the leading agency for Timor-Leste’s review process and was supported by the United Nations Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT). Commissioner Adérito de Jesus Soares commented that the publication of this Executive Summary is a great achievement for Timor-Leste in compliance with the Convention’s obligation and also for the country to reflect on its efforts in combating corruption.

“It serves as a mirror for us to see where we are now in terms of combating corruption in the country and it helps us to identify challenges and opportunities for further future implementation of the Convention in Timor-Leste,” said Commissioner.    

The full analytical report of the Self-Assessment Review is expected to be finalized before the next IRG meeting in November 2012. Timor-Leste is working closely with the reviewing countries, Namibia and Fiji as well as the Review Mechanism Secretariat to finalize it.  English version of the Executive Summary is attached. Tetum and Portuguese versions will be available at a later date.
