In its resolution 3/2, entitled "Preventive measures", the Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption decided to establish an interim open-ended Intergovernmental Working Group, in accordance with article 63, paragraph 7, of the United Nations Convention, and rule 2, paragraph 2 of the rules of procedure of the Conference of the States Parties, to advise and assist the Conference in the implementation of its mandate on the prevention of corruption.
The Conference also decided that the Working Group should perform the following functions: (a) assist the Conference in developing and accumulating knowledge in the area of prevention of corruption; (b) facilitate the exchange of information and experience among States on preventive measures and practices; (c) facilitate the collection, dissemination and promotion of best practices in corruption prevention; and (d) assist the Conference in encouraging cooperation among all stakeholders and sectors of society in order to prevent corruption.
At its second intersessional meeting held in Vienna from 22 to 24 August 2011, the Working Group recommended that it should continue to focus on a manageable number of specific substantive topics relevant to the implementation of the articles in Chapter II of the Convention (CAC/COSP/WG.4/2011/4, paragraph 11). The Working Group also considered that its future meetings should follow a multi-year workplan for the period up to 2015. In response to these outcomes of the Working Group, the Secretariat prepared a note entitled "Proposal for a possible multi-year workplan for the Open-Ended Intergovernmental Working Group on Prevention for the period up to 2015" (CAC/COSP/2011/CRP.4) and circulated the note for comments by State parties and signatories to the Convention through Note Verbale CU 2011/177 of 30 September 2011. Following receipt of comments from States parties and signatories, the Secretariat circulated a proposed change to the multi-year workplan through Note Verbale 2011/213 of 3 January 2012. Having received contrasting responses from States parties and signatories, the Secretariat informed States parties and signatories that the proposed change would not take effect and confirmed that the topics for discussion at the third intersessional meeting of the Working Group to be held in Vienna from 27 to 29 August 2012 would remain:
(a) Implementation of article 12 of the Convention, including the use of public-private partnerships;
(b) Conflicts of interest, reporting acts of corruption and asset declarations, particularly in the context of articles 7 - 9 of the Convention.
The Working Group also considered at its second intersessional meeting that in advance of each future meeting of the Working Group, States parties should be invited to share their experiences of implementing the provisions under consideration, preferably by using the self-assessment checklist and including, where possible, successes, challenges, technical assistance needs, and lessons learned in implementation (CAC/COSP/WG.4/2011/4, paragraph 12).
