international anti-corruption standards

International anti-corruption standards are guidelines and agreements established by various organizations to combat corruption globally. These standards, such as the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) and the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, promote transparency, accountability, and integrity in both government and business. They encourage nations to implement laws and practices that prevent bribery, foster good governance, and protect whistleblowers. By adhering to these standards, countries aim to create fairer societies and improve economic development, ultimately benefiting all citizens and ensuring ethical conduct in public and private sectors.
