With around 300 representatives from Transparency International (TI) chapters from some 100 countries and territories, the organisation’s 2009 annual membership meeting held in Berlin from 17-18 October was the largest to date.
At this meeting, Ukraine was represented by Creative Union "TORO" as TI's contact group in Ukraine...
The anti-corruption coalition geared up for two days of in depth discussions and strategising with a pre-meeting conference to reflect on the global financial crisis, its roots and how the movement can contribute concrete solutions.
During the meeting, resolutions dealing with the UN Convention against Corruption, Germany’s outstanding ratification of the convention and the protection of whistleblowers were adopted. These three issues represent immediate priorities for TI and action on these will be seen as soon as November of this year.
The movement also elected Jeremy Carver (UK) and Sergej Muravjov (Lithuania) to the TI board of directors at the meeting, and paid tribute to outgoing members Nancy Boswell (USA) and Devendra Raj Panday (Nepal) for their work and dedication.
