Abstract

AbstractCorruption has been recognised as a global problem affecting both the developing and the developed world. The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) is the first legally binding, global anti-corruption instrument. The UNCAC covers a broad range of anti-corruption activities, including the four main areas of prevention, criminalisation and law enforcement, international cooperation, and asset recovery. It has attracted overwhelming support from UN Member states, with over 140 parties to the Convention. Support for implementing this Convention is provided by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), which serves as the Secretariat to the Conference of States Parties to the UNCAC.
