United Nations Convention Against Corruption

The United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) is an international treaty adopted in 2003 that aims to prevent and combat corruption worldwide. It encourages countries to implement laws and measures to detect, investigate, and punish corrupt practices such as bribery, fraud, and abuse of power. UNCAC also promotes transparency, strengthens institutions, and supports international cooperation to reduce corruption’s impact on development, governance, and social trust. By establishing common standards, it helps countries work together more effectively to promote integrity and accountability across borders.
