Project description:
The aim of the project is to improve fight against corruption through increasing the public sector’s awareness of implementation of relevant international recommendations and standards, mainly those arising from monitoring by the Group of States against Corruption of the Council of Europe, the OECD Working Group on Bribery and the UN Convention against Corruption which have been criticizing the Czech Republic for insufficient anti-corruption measures.
The project will be implemented by the Ministry of Justice, with partners Supreme Public Prosecutors Office and Judicial Academy, enabling to organize trainings, workshops and seminars focused on prosecutors and judges. The project target group: judges, prosecutors, public service employees and general public.
New or improved existing codes of ethics for judges and prosecutors will be drawn up and awareness will be raised among stakeholders from the professional and general public regarding the reporting of corruption offenses and conflicts of interest.
A significant benefit of such a project is the possibility of using the best experience in the field of corruption prevention, including conflicts of interest and improving the protection of whistle-blowers, which will be identified through comparative studies and international conferences.
