Timor-Leste has made positive strides to address the issues of corruption and accountability. The adoption by the National Parliament in 2009 of the law for the establishment of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is a positive indication of the Country’s commitment to strengthen accountability and combating corruption in Timor-Leste. This law provides the ACC with powers such as instigating and pursuing criminal investigations in corruption offences. Furthermore, the ACC is also mandated with raising awareness on issues related to anti-corruption.
