The 5th Global Conference of the Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC), which was held in Manila from January 30 to February 2, 2013 concluded with the Manila Declaration, which provides a firm commitment of parliamentarians from more than 67 countries in fighting corruption.
