The High Level Regional Expert Workshop "Implementation Guide of Article 11 of the United Nations Convention against Corruption" was organized by the Jordanian Anti-Corruption Commission in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice and the Higher Judicial Council in Jordan, with the joint support of UNODC and UNDP and in collaboration with ACINET. The meeting involved high-level experts, including members of the judiciary and prosecution services as well as national anti-corruption authorities from countries in the Arab states region. The main objectives of the meeting were two-fold:

• Provide a forum for participants to discuss and critically analyze the draft Article 11 Implementation Guide produced by UNODC;

• Allowing participants to use the guide as a framework for exploring the measures currently in place in the region aimed at strengthening integrity and preventing opportunities for corruption among members of the judiciary and prosecution services.
