With over tens of thousands participants and television viewers estimated throughout the Americas, RESPONDACON II, the Second Inter-American Conference on the Problems of Fraud and Corruption in Government, broadcast its message via INTELSAT on February 27 - 28, 1992. For the first time, 20 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean discussed simultaneously and interacted with other countries the delicate issues of fraud and corruption in government. The Conference called for public sector accountability and a strong, swift response against fraud and corruption.

The Conference had the following goals: Educate the greatest number of citizens about the importance of honesty, transparency and integrity in government; Publicize the threat of the globalization of official corruption by disseminating case studies; Motivate citizens throughout the hemisphere to mobilize in support of efforts that combat corruptions; and Provide a forum for a free and open interchange on common issues and problems facing the governments of the hemisphere.
