Nas repúblicas e nas democracias o principal alicerce da cidadania é a soberania popular, de onde advém todo o poder confiado pelo Povo aos seus servidores públicos eleitos, concursados e contratados.

Friday 13: An unlucky day for Article 13 of the Convention.
9.00 As our daily coalition meeting opens, word is that there is a mechanism - "Habemus deal"
However, small groups are still making the last changes to the final resolution adopting the long expected review mechanism.

Doha Chronicles. Day 4. Negotiations on Thursday were closed to NGOs most of the day. The Working Group on Review of Implementation, headed by the Argentinean Ambassador Eugenio Curia, met with the heads of delegation of countries sponsoring the two (almost opposing) resolutions for most of the day. Not even members of those delegations were in that room -so strong was the need to make progress and iron out differences.

The Doha Chronicles. Day 3. Monitor 3, produced on Wednesday 11.Nov, is out. The main article titled "Still time for a happy end?" -after another day went by where both camps here in the UNCAC negotiations were "stuck in the mud". The main article offers specific language to hopefully facilitate some consensus.You might wonder why we chose to have such a specific text for the cover...(some might find it boring and/or incomprehensible)

Doha Chronicles. Day 2. And here is another edition of the Monitor from Doha. The focus for this edition was to highlight the positive experiences of other review mechanisms -as the debate is getting hot today and tomorrow. The point is to show that many countries here, including some of those blocking progress, are already being monitored under one or other anti-corruption or anti money laundering system. You will also see a big photo of our action "Spelling it out" which received local coverage in the Qatar times -but in a few other local and international newspapers.

Doha Chronicles Day 1. Greetings from sunny Doha. I wanted to share with you news about the "Spelling it out" action that the UNCAC Coalition organized to convey our message to the UN Delegates here Doha. This was the first time we did something like this and it was not only a clear way to convey our message, but it was also a team building exercise for the group and we had lots of fun!
