1st Global Conference

The Global Conference of Parliamentarians Against Corruption brought together over 150 parliamentarians, 107-plus observers and parliamentary staff to discuss issues of corruption, parliamentary oversight and effective governance. It officially launched GOPAC as an institution, approved a constitution and developed an improved global understanding of the nature of corruption and parliamentarians’ role in fighting it. The conference was an opportunity for parliamentarians from around the world to discuss their shared experiences in the fight against corruption and establish strong networks for the road ahead.
