About GTF-PEC

Parliament, which sets the legal framework and oversees the administrative branch of government, plays the central role in preventing public corruption. To effectively represent citizens, members of parliament carry out their legislative and oversight roles in a way that is demonstrably in the public interest and do so in a way that reflects the ethical standards of their community.

Surveys of public trust in professions often rank parliamentarian among the least trustworthy. Whether this reflects higher standards for people seeking public office or not, such lack of trust seriously undermines the capacity of parliamentarians to effectively carry out their duties related to corruption prevention. For this reason, GOPAC established a global task force to develop a policy position on parliamentary conduct, provide tools and training materials and promote ethics and conduct regimes aimed at building greater public trust in parliamentarians.
