Many of the proposals, coming fromorgans of the Organization of American States (OAS), the Council of Europe (CoE), the World Bank,African Union, ADB-OECD <strong>Anti</strong>-<strong>Corruption</strong> Initiative for Asia and the Pacific, and Transparency <strong>International</strong>,are an indication in which direction the future anti-corruption political finance regulationsare moving. Not surprisingly, all of the above organizations emphasize strategies based on publicdisclosure and most address the question of monitoring.
