In 2003, UN General Assembly adopted the Anti-Corruption
Convention. 140 UN member states signed the convention. Armenia joined
this list last year. Yesterday, the convention was discussed at RA
National Assembly. RA Justice Minister David Harutyunian stated that
the ratification of the convention will be another step for development
of the legislative field of Armenia. It will also help apply new
measures for anti-corruption struggle. The convention’s regulation
includes many issues: aversion of corruption, legal and criminal
prosecution of corruption and others. Besides, Armenia’s participation
in the convention envisages a number of legislative initiatives,
which will soon be submitted to RA National Assembly. In general,
the deputies gave positive evaluation to the convention. The document
is likely to be ratified in the course of the coming four days.
