Report of the Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration on the United Nations Convention against Corruption, dated 8 September 2004:
The Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration, having conducted an in-depth comparative analysis of the United Nations Convention against Corruption against the South African legal framework, came to the following conclusions:
1. Our legal framework is not only compliant with the provisions of the Convention, but also goes beyond its requirements.
2. The South African government will be able to implement the Convention.
The Committee, therefore, having considered the request for approval by Parliament of the United Nations Convention against Corruption, referred to it, recommends that the House, in terms of section 231(2) of the Constitution, approve the said Convention.
