Korea's anti-corruption policies, such as the Prevention of Conflict of Interest Act and the protection of corruption whistleblowers, will be shared at the Assembly of Parties (AoP) of the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA) held in Vienna on November 28.

The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC, Chairperson Jeon Hyun-Heui) will send a government delegation (Director General of Inspection and Protection Bureau Kim Kisun as Head of Delegation) to the 11^th session of IACA’s AoP, in which 76 parties are participating, and share Korea’s major anti-corruption policy outcomes.

IACA is an international organization for anti-corruption training and research established in Austria in 2010, which holds the AoP every year to share anti-corruption trends in each country and discuss matters regarding the operation of the Academy.

The Agenda of the 11^th AoP includes the current and emerging trends and challenges in prevention and combating corruption, the implementation report of the Work Programme 2021-2024, development of indicators for the measurement of corruption, and Budget 2023 and fundraising activities.

On the 28th, the government delegation will make presentation on ▲ the major content of the Prevention of Conflict of Interest Act, took effect in May 2022, ▲ the ACRC Act that was amended to strengthen the confidentiality and protection of corruption whistleblowers, and ▲ the project on technical support for developing countries regarding “Clean Portal,” a digital-based corruption and public interest reporting system.

ACRC Assistant Chairperson of Planning and Coordination Office Lim Yoon-Ju said, “I believe that Korea’s experience of legal and institutional improvement regarding anti-corruption could have meaningful implications with regard to the anti-corruption training and research in the international community. The ACRC will closely cooperate with IACA on the relevant area of anti-corruption training and research.”
