UNODC supports the work of the Commonwealth Caribbean Association of Integrity Commissions and Anti-Corruption Bodies

Organized by the Integrity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and the Commonwealth Secretariat, UNODC participated in the conference "The role of integrity commissions and anti-corruption bodies in transforming the Commonwealth Caribbean".

The event gave an opportunity to promote UNODC ACAD Iniciative and the learning resources available through the website https://track.unodc.org/Education/Pages/home.aspx

Similarly, UNODC presented the work done by the Regional Anticorruption Academy (ARAC) including the diploma on "Measures for the Prevention and Fight against Corruption" and whose syllabus is based on the above referenced initiative.

During a work session to identify challenges in respect to integrity for the anticorruption authorities in the region, UNODC participated in a debate where representatives of Antigua and Barbuda, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Transparency International presented the various work areas and topic in which they found most difficulties in the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption.

One of the challenges identified, were the difficulties regulating conflict of interest in the islands, the absence of regulatory frameworks for the protection of whistleblowers, the need for more interinstitutional cooperation among the different institutions responsible for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of corruption and related offences as money laundering as well as lack of resources and other problems concerning international cooperation. The topics identifies will serve as a guide for the future work of the association that aims at developing standards in the fight against corruption in the Commonwealth Caribbean.
