CoSP Plenary Speech of Seychelles Mr President,

CoSP Plenary Speech of Seychelles Mr President, The Seychelles welcomes this opportunity to address the 10th Conference of the States Parties and make a statement on this, the 20th anniversary of UNCAC. [...] However, with the Seychellois and ACCS staff doing an incredible job on clearing up, we believe it was vitally important for us to be here on the global anti-corruption stage; to tell the world of our plight, and to start the rebuilding process with all your support, in a transparent and accountable way. [...] For investigations and prosecutions, we in the ACCS and our colleagues in the Attorney General’s Office have found MLA to be lengthy and cumbersome. [...] Where possible we need to remove government ministry’s red tape from the process, and put faith our in our courts to uphold the rule of law. [...] 4 We strongly urge all State parties to spend the next two years working towards a more efficient and effective global solution to pass criminal evidence and return stolen assets to their rightful owners, so that we can cure the sick, educate the youth and feed the poor.
