Conflicts of Interest

Election Observers must not only be, but also be seen to be, entirely objective. In particular they must have no potential conflicts of interest in relation to their work for BEWC in the country concerned. This issue is, understandably, subject to ever-increasing scrutiny by stakeholders.

We require ALL candidate observers to let us know in writing at the time of each application of anything which might be considered, or be presented by others, as a conflict of interest.

We can then make enquiries and give a response on whether a candidate can be considered for a mission. Failure to inform us of possible conflicts may result (if discovered pre-departure) in cancellation of individual assignments or (if emerging later) compromise the mission as a whole. This not only reduces the effectiveness and credibility of monitoring but will also require us to seek cost recovery for flights, visas etc from the party not declaring the information.

Please therefore take this issue into account and, if in doubt, declare any possible conflict that might need to be cleared (for example, business, investment, political, representational, or professional interests and activities with the country concerned or elsewhere if relevant).

Many thanks for your understanding and co-operation in this matter.
