Annex 19: Transparency International: Corruption Perceptions Index85

Transparency International published an annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) table that shows a country's ranking and score, the number of surveys used to determine the score, and the confidence range of the scoring.

The rank shows how one country compares to others included in the index. The CPI score indicates the perceived level of public-sector corruption in a country/territory. The following table shows the ranking for Timor-Leste from 2006 (the first year data were available) to 2009.

laws so that they may enter into force. It is published by the National

Printing House in two series: Laws, Decree-Laws, decisions by the Constitutional Court and other relevant texts are published in Series I; regulations, public contracts, etc. are published in Series II. As in many other countries, legislative texts enter into force only after being published.

L

LAW

The word law can be used with three different meanings, according to the intended scope. In the broadest sense, law is every legal rule, written or not, and covers the habits and all rules formally produced by the State. In a broad sense, law is the written legal rule, excluding legal habit. In a strict sense, it means the normative act by excellence, issued from the National Parliament.

LAW-MAKING

Science that studies the ways of designing and writing normative acts. In colloquial terms, law-making is the art of drafting laws well, in the sense that it consubstantiates a set of rules – law-making rules – the purpose of which is to contribute to a good drafting of laws.

LEGAL PROCEDURES Set of legal requirements for starting a process.

LEGISLATION Set of legal precepts regulating a certain matter.

LEGISLATIVE ACT Manifestation of the will with strength of law and meant to produce law effects. It is one of the three sovereign powers of the State, responsible for the drafting of laws.

LEGISLATIVE

COMPETENCE Legal capacity for drafting laws, decree-laws, regulations and decrees.

LEGISLATIVE POWER

Power to legislate, create and sanction laws. The goal is to draft law rules with general or individual scope that are applied to all society, in view of satisfying the needs of the pressure groups; public administration; society. The legislative power elementary functions include that of overseeing the executive power and voting on budget laws.

M -

N NATIONAL

PARLIAMENT Assembly of representatives elected by the citizens in democratic regimes, normally holding legislative power.

O

ORGANIC LAW Law on the organization and operation of the Government and respective Ministries. It covers the general dispositions and sets up the main functions and actuation instruments.

P

PUBLIC

ADMINISTRATION

In organic or subjective sense, Public Administration is the set of State bodies, services and agents, as well as the further public legal persons, which ensures the satisfying of various collective needs, such as security, culture, health and the wellbeing of the populations. A person employed by Public Administration is called a civil servant. It can also be defined objectively as the concrete and immediate activity that States develop for ensuring collective interests, and subjectively as the set of legal bodies and persons to which the Law attributes the exercise of the administrative function of the State. Under the operational aspect, Public Administration is the perennial and systematic, legal and

87

technical development of the services belonging to the State, benefiting the whole.

PROMULGATION

Internal legal act by which the President of the Republic attests the existence of a duly ratified law, Decree-Law, treaty, etc., and order its execution within the territory. It is important to highlight the difference, in practical terms, between the effects of ratification and those of promulgation. If a State ratifies a treaty but does not promulgate it (and if its constitutional law requires promulgation), the conventional text is mandatory in the international sphere but not in the internal one. In this case, the State in question may be asked by other Contracting Parts to fulfill some of its conventional obligations, but one of its internal bodies may refuse to do so because of lack of promulgation. The faulty State then incurs in a situation of international accountability.

PROJECT OF LAW Text presented by the Deputies or Parliamentary Group to the Parliament, so that the latter can pronounce on it.

PROPOSAL OF LAW Idem to Draft Law R RATIFICATION Confirmation, authentication of an act or commitment: ratify a Treaty.

REPEAL Removing validity through a different rule. The repealed rule leaves the system, interrupting its force. The rule ceases to be valid, to belong to the legal ordering, and to have special relevance in dogmatic terms.

REVALIDATION Reposition in force of a previously revoked law (or legal precept). S

STATE

Institution organized politically, socially and legally, occupying a defined territory, normally where the maximum law is a written Constitution, and rules by a Government whose sovereignty is acknowledged both internally and internationally. A sovereign State is characterized by the saying "One government, one people, one territory".

STATE GENERAL

BUDGET

Planning instrument that expresses Government Programs monetarily, in order for a financial exercise, discriminating the objectives and goals to be achieved by the Public Administration.

T - U

UNCONSTITUTIONALITY

Contrariety of the law or normative act (resolution, decrees) regarding the Constitution. This incompatibility can be formal (lack of observance of the necessary rules for the process of legislative drafting or edition) and / or material (concerning the very content of the law or the normative act, and its conformity with the constitutional principles and rules).
