We welcome the G20s two year extension of the Anti-Corruption Working Groups mandate. It is positive that the G20 endorsed the Working Groups principles for denial of entry for corrupt officials and those who corrupt them, as well as asset and financial disclosure for public officials. We support the G20 agreement to pursue those who receive and solicit bribes as well as those who pay the bribes. The substantial actions taken by G20 governments to identify and freeze illicit funds of Arab Spring countries are also welcome.

Executive Summary G20 countries must ensure they implement and enforce the 2010 AntiCorruption Action Plan and prioritize the following in the new action plan: 1. Ensure civil society space and participation and whistle-blower protection. 2. Implement effective anti-money laundering actions. 3. Enforce foreign anti-bribery legislation. 4. Further expand global transparency standards in the extractive industries.
While appreciative of the progress which has already been made by the G20 AntiCorruption Working Group, we strongly urge that additional action be taken.
