Abstract

Corruption violates human rights and manifests in many forms including embezzlement, bribery, and money laundering. It is a crime which includes economic and financial crimes. It exists in every country of the world including Nigeria. The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) 2003 was the direct legal response to prevent and combat the menace. The bulk of enforcement of the UNCAC is the duty of the State Parties via the domestic system but Nigeria has yet to domesticate same. This paper makes a case for the essentiality and necessity of effective domestic enforcement institutions in Nigeria towards achieving the purpose of the UNCAC.
