	Interpol Group of Experts on Corruption (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		During this Conference it was recommended to establish an Interpol Group of Experts on Corruption (IGEC), mandated to develop and implement an anti-corruption strategy, with the objective of not only raising awareness of the major issues, but primarily to improve law enforcement's ability and effectiveness in the fight against corruption.
		The motivation underlying this proposal was the general belief that law enforcement should combat corruption (as a phenomenon) holistically, in co-operation with all the major role players and the community at large.
		These Standards consist of several principles and numerous measures designed to improve the resistance to succumbing to corruption, as well as the efficacy in combating it, and to represent an ideal to which we are confident that our member countries will strive towards.

		It is only with institutional independence, adequate resources and accountability that such agencies can undertake their responsibilities effectively.
		This lesson is based on a presentation made by the ICAC 'An Independent Anti-Corruption Commission - The Hong Kong Experience,'by Gilbert Chan Tak-Shing, which is attached at the end of the lesson.

		At the outset, let's welcome the draft bill to form an independent anti-graft commission which has received cabinet approval for an onward transmission to the parliament for consideration and eventual adoption.
