Ninety-five countries signed the U.N. Convention against Corruption over a three-day conference in Mexico, a top Mexican Foreign Ministry official said last Thursday at the close of the gathering. The convention will enter into force once 30 governments have ratified it. Kenya, with a new government, was the first to sign and ratify. When the convention was opened for signatures last Wednesday, Kenya, the United States, Mexico, Italy, Paraguay, Japan, Mauritius, Kuwait and Sierra Leone were the first signers.
