This is the Commonwealth statement at the inaugural Anti-Corruption Summit which was hosted by the British Prime Minister, David Cameron. This summit agreed to galvanise a global response to tackle corruption as well as agreeing a package of actions to tackle corruption across the board. The Commonwealth will establish a new Commonwealth Office of Civil and Criminal Justice Reform to co-ordinate practical efforts to promote sustainable development that is enabled by the rule of law and good governance. This also include the use of its common language, common legal system and extensive network of professional associations, law practitioners and civil society, to develop anti-corruption policies, strengthen legal frameworks and develop practical toolkits to implement strategies to combat corruption.
