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

UNCAC English 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.
