Resolution 12: on Corruption

We understand that corruption is a threat and an obstacle to the development of our organization and our growth as a union. We understand that international and national leaders must follow ethical and moral values based on the rejection of corruption and personal interests, giving priority to the interests of all waste pickers. We understand that corruption is the misuse of responsibility, authority, rights, opportunities and connections for personal benefit (FACCyR – Argentina).

Therefore, it is resolved:

  1. Repudiate any act of corruption of our leaders and affiliated organizations (FACCyR – Argentina).
  2. Publicly fight against corruption in the recycling sector (FACCyR – Argentina).
  3. Assist and support affiliates who denounce acts of corruption (FACCyR – Argentina).
  4. Develop a protocol to prevent and deal with cases of corruption (FACCyR – Argentina).
