Attorney General Mike Peyrefitte is in Vienna, Austria for the Seventh Session of the UNCAC Conference of State Parties.
His presence is part of the requirement for a State Party of the UNCAC. According to a government release, "the Secretariat strongly encouraged government representation at the highest political level" - which is why the Attorney General attended along with Crown Counsel Odwin Trenton, who is the Interim Project Coordinator, UNCAC Project Board. Discussion this year will be about Preventative Measures in the fight against corruption, Asset Recovery, and International Cooperation.
As we've reported, the Government voluntarily submitted to the Implementation Review Mechanism to assist Belize in the effective implementation of the UNCAC. The State Parties reviewing Belize's submission praised Belize for being the first country to submit the self-assessment checklist on time. Belize acceded to the UNCAC 11 months ago.
