OSCE trains prosecutors on combatting corruption in Kazakhstan
An OSCE-supported two-day training seminar on best practices in combating corruption concluded on 28 June 2017 in Astana.
The event was organized by the Programme Office in Astana in partnership with the Academy of Law Enforcement Authorities under the Prosecutor General’s Office for some 30 prosecutors from across the country.
An OSCE-supported expert familiarized the attorneys with best international experience on identifying corruption risks in the OSCE region and provided analysis of Kazakhstan’s anticorruption legislation. The training modules covered international anticorruption conventions, key international organizations combating corruption, risk-based approaches, international anticorruption rating, international co-operation and mutual legal assistance. The participants also reviewed the practices of anticorruption investigation and discussed further challenges of applying OSCE best practices in the host country.
The seminar is part of the Office’s long-term effort to support the host country in combating corruption, as well as to promote good governance and the rule of law.
