CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX 2009
21. Global Perception of Latin America Corruption
21
Transparency International has reported that 22 of the 32 countries in Latin America are perceived to suffer from high levels of corruption
This problem of corruption goes hand in hand with the high level of inequity that has not been overcome by the economic growth experienced by the region in the last few years.
Weak government institutions, low levels of governance and the influence of particular interests negatively affect efforts to promote equitable and sustainable human development.
22. International Efforts to Reduce Corruption
22
Nearly all Organization of American States (OAS) member states have signed and ratified two key legal instruments that provide a foundation for preventing corruption: the Inter-American Convention against Corruption and the UN Convention against Corruption.
Most signatory countries have joined the follow-up mechanism of the Inter-American Convention, a fundamental step for the treaty to become truly effective.
Member states have generally been slow to implement meaningful reforms and enforcement program
