UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION AGAINST CORRUPTION

The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) is a landmark, international anti-corruption treaty adopted by the UN General Assembly. The UNCAC sends a clear message that the international community is determined to prevent and control corruption. It warns the corrupt that betrayal of the public trust will no longer be tolerated. And it reaffirms the importance of core values such as honesty, respect for the rule of law, accountability and transparency in promoting development and making the world a better place for all.
