United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC)

The United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) is an international treaty aimed at combating corruption globally. Adopted in 2003, it encourages countries to adopt effective measures to prevent corruption, promote transparency, and strengthen law enforcement. The convention covers various aspects, including bribery, embezzlement, and international cooperation in prosecuting corrupt activities. By establishing a common framework, UNCAC seeks to enhance integrity in public and private sectors, support good governance, and protect human rights, thereby contributing to sustainable development across nations. Countries that ratify it commit to enacting laws and implementing policies to address corruption effectively.
