The delegation of Iraq strongly believes in transparency of governmental insitutions and has been working through the tough past years towards being transparent in all aspects. Due to the current reconstruction phase the nation is going through, the Republic of Iraq has constant reports from the CPA and Revenue Watch and the UNAMI working towards more efficient and transparent institutions. Iraq believes that having a government whose intentions are clear to the general public is essential for the stability and development for a nation as transparency in a government effectively exemplifies how the people's opinions are reflected by people in power. It is also essential to show the people that what they are being promised and told is actually going in, which in turn makes the general population trust their goverment and therefore increases stability in the nation. This also cuts down any revolt that may occur beforehand as the people will be pleased by a government that is upfront about all its actions and does not hide their intentions or actions.

Encourages all nations working towards more transparent government institutions to construct annual reports to the UN showing the nations continuous progress in reference to the implementation of the UNCAC, and the specified objectives of TI and the CPA.
