De Panama à Londres : agir contre la corruption légale et illégale au sommet anticorruption du Royaume-Uni

9 May 2016
Daniel Kaufmann, Alexandra Gillies

La fuite des informations du cabinet juridique Mossack Fonseca dans l’affaire des « Panama Papers » a fait et fera la une des journaux pendant des semaines à mesure que de nouveaux noms seront dévoilés. Le scandale a placé le Panama sur le devant de la scène et a donné un aperçu inédit du monde de l’argent caché et de l’évasion fiscale. Afin de mieux saisir le contexte général, il est important de faire la distinction entre la corruption légale, révélée par l’affaire des « Panama Papers » et la corruption illégale, exposée par le scandale Unaoil. Le moment est venu pour les gouvernements de prendre des mesures radicales contre l’une et l’autre.

Los Gobiernos deben aprovechar la oportunidad para adoptar medidas firmes contra ambas.

Daniel Kaufmann, Alexandra Gillies
It is vital to distinguish between legal corruption (such as that exposed by the Panama Papers) and illegal corruption (such as that exposed by the Unaoil scandal) and recognize that this is a moment for governments to take decisive action against both. Both the U.S. and the U.K.—which hosts the May Anti-Corruption Summit—have an unprecedented opportunity to make a difference.

23 March 2016
Marie Lintzer, Christina Tecson
We know how critical the natural resource sector can be for a country’s development. However, only about 10% of OGP commitments relate to natural resources. The drafting of new national action plans (NAPs) by June offers a unique opportunity to increase commitment to good governance of the oil, gas, mining and forestry industries.
