During this visit, these experts had discussions with representatives of civil society on issues such as the recruitment systems for public officials, public procurement systems, whistleblower protection and witnesses in accordance with the provisions of point 13 of the document prepared by the OAS on the Methodology to be followed to carry out in situ visits.
