The United Nations Convention against Corruption
The United Nations Convention Against Corruption requires countries to take action in both the public and private sector to prevent corruption.
United Nations Convention Against Corruption
So often what we are told is not as important as that which we are not told , it appears that our focus on the convention has been placed on bribes and not other issues in the convention which is to deal with public officials in procurement fraud.
New Zealand judiciary appear to be out of step with the convention and have failed to recognize and far less adopt the principals which the convention imposes on the judiciary being
Article 11. Measures relating to the judiciaryand prosecution services
Article 30. Prosecution, adjudication and sanctions
Article 31. Freezing, seizure and confiscation
Article 32. Protection of witnesses, experts and victims
Article 33. Protection of reporting persons
Article 34. Consequences of acts of corruption
Article 35. Compensation for damage
the convention in English
It is currently extremely dangerous for any one to question corruption in New Zealand , to do so will see you being taken to court in Slapp actions , these are legal actions intent on silencing you. You can bring as much evidence as possible to the court but he court will keep on looking at you as the villain in the peace.
Our justice system does not appear to accept that such things as strategic legal actions occur we have even raided issues of Lawyers using dirty tactics , to the law society only to see the matter glossed over and brushed aside.
Until we have the provisions above ratified , it is unsafe to question corruption.
