Međunarodnom konferencijom Rodna politika kao neophodnost ili prilika – politikom jednakih mogućnosti ka efikasnijem sprečavanju korupcije Agencija za sprečavanje korupcije obeležava Međunarodni dan borbe protiv korupcije, uz podršku Misije OEBS-a u Srbiji.
Direktor Agencije za sprečavanje korupcije gospodin Dragan Sikimić predstavio je mehanizme za uvođenje rodne perspektive u rad Agencije, koji su razvijeni u saradnji sa Misijom OEBS-a u Srbiji. Sikimić je istakao važnost sistematskog uključivanja rodne perspektive u primenu mehanizama sprečavanja korupcije, kao i kontinuiranu posvećenost sprovođenju rodnih mera kroz rad Agencije.
Pored direktora Sikimića, u uvodnom izlaganju učesnicima su se obratili: ambasador Jan Bratu, šef Misije OEBS-a u Srbiji, Anita Ramasastri, specijalna predstavnica za borbu protiv korupcije švedskog predsedavanja OEBS-om, Brankica Janković, poverenica za zaštitu ravnopravnosti Republike Srbije, Milana Rikanović, direktorka Tela Ujedinjenih nacija za rodnu ravnopravnost i osnaživanje žena u Republici Srbiji (UN Women), Gordana Čomić, ministarka za ljudska i manjinska prava i društveni dijalog Vlade Republike Srbije i Maja Popović, ministarka pravde Vlade Republike Srbije.
„Misija OEBS-a pruža podršku Srbiji u razvijanju inovativnih i održivih mera za prevenciju korupcije. Korupcija predstavlja prepreku napretku. Njome se podstiče rodna neravnopravnost i održava nejednak pristup javnim uslugama i resursima, kao i neravnopravna raspodela dohotka”, izjavio je šef Misije OEBS-a u Srbiji, ambasador Jan Bratu.
„Rodna ravnopravnost i promocija smislenog učešća žena u pitanjima koja se tiču mira i bezbednosti ključni su u radu OEBS-a. U 2021. godini posebnu pažnju posvetili smo pružanju podrške Agenciji za prevenciju korupcije kako bi rodnu perspektivu integrisala u sve aspekte svog rada. Pomogli smo Agenciji da obuči svoje zaposlene u pogledu rodno odgovornih politika i budžetiranja i razvili smo set rodno senzitivnih instrumenata za sprečavanje korupcije.”
Generalna skupština Ujedinjenih nacija usvojila je UN Konvenciju protiv korupcije 31. oktobra 2003. godine te odredila 9. decembar kao Međunarodni dan borbe protiv korupcije sa ciljem podizanja svesti o korupciji i ulozi Konvencije u sprečavanju i borbi protiv korupcije. UN Konvencija stupila je na snagu 2005. godine i iste godine je ratifikovala Republika Srbija.
Marking of the International Anti-Corruption Day
The Agency for Prevention of Corruption marks the International Anti-Corruption Day with the support of the OSCE Mission to Serbia at the International Conference Gender policy as a necessity or opportunity – with policy of equal opportunities towards more effective prevention of corruption.
Director of the Agency for Prevention of Corruption Mr. Dragan Sikimić presented mechanisms for the implementation of gender perspective in the work of Agency that were developed in cooperation with the OSCE Mission to Serbia. Sikimić stressed the importance of the systematical inclusion of gender perspective into implementation of corruption prevention mechanisms, as well as continuous commitment to enforcing gender related measures through the work of the Agency.
In addition to Director Sikimić, opening speech was delivered by Ambassador Jan Braathu, Head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia, Ms. Anita Ramasastry, Special Representative to the Swedish Chairperson in Office at the OSCE on Combating Corruption, Ms. Brankica Janković, Commissioner for the Protection of Equality, Republic of Serbia, Ms. Milana Rikanović, Head of United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women in Serbia (UN Women), Ms. Gordana Čomić, Minister for Human and Minority Rights and Social Dialogue, Government of the Republic of Serbia and Ms. Maja Popović, Minister of Justice, Government of the Republic of Serbia.
“The OSCE Mission supports Serbia in developing innovative and sustainable measures for corruption prevention. Corruption is an obstacle to progress. It worsens gender inequality, perpetuates the lack of equal access to public services, resources and income distribution,” said the Head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia, Ambassador Jan Braathu.
“Gender equality and the promotion of women’s meaningful involvement in matters of peace and security is key to the work of the OSCE. In 2021, we devoted special attention to supporting the Anti-Corruption Agency in mainstreaming a gender perspective into its work. We helped train the Agency’s staff on gender responsive policies and budgeting and developed a gender specific anti-corruption toolkit.”
The General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the UN Convention against Corruption on October 31, 2003, thus designating December 9 as the International Anti-Corruption Day aimed at raising awareness on corruption as well as the role of the Convention in prevention and fight against corruption. UN Convention entered into force in 2005 which is when it was also ratified by the Republic of Serbia.
