Americas declare war on corruption

http://edition.cnn.com/2004/BUSINESS/06/09/americas.corruption.ap/

"Foreign Ministers from around the Americas have declared war on the region's deeply ingrained corruption at the end of a two-day meeting in this Andean capital.

The ministers on Tuesday also offered Haiti's new government the support of the inter-American community, committing their nations to undertaking "all the diplomatic initiatives necessary" to promote democracy in that country.

...

But the general assembly rejected a Peruvian proposals calling for countries to extradite officials accused of corruption.

The Peruvian government was hopeful that the inclusion would have given it moral support in its battle to extradite former President Alberto Fujimori from Japan, where he took refuge after his government collapsed in a corruption scandal in 2000."
