Abstract
The central issue of the 12th International Anti-Corruption Conference1 was respect for the law. Special emphasis was placed on education, because children must understand and respect core humanitarian values if the long-term fight against corruption is to be won. The conference issued a declaration in support of the engagement of young people in the fight against corruption. The 12th IACC built on the accomplishments of the 11th IACC in Seoul, Korea, in May 2003. This year’s meeting reaffirmed that leaders of faith-based institutions across the world must promote the cause of anti-corruption, consistent with the Seoul declaration that: “We renew our commitment to a global international order that protects the weak and vulnerable; that builds confidence among nations; that provides for sustainable development, particularly for the poor; and that serves as a dependable infrastructure for international commerce.” A consistent theme of this year’s IACC’s plenary sessions and workshops was the need to enhance the role of civil society as a partner with the public and private sectors in the implementation of programs to reduce corruption.
