6.iv.1: International Conventions against Corruption

To secure strong, effective and legally-binding international anticorruption rules and standards, including promoting their enforcement by governments and monitoring progress in such.

Other Information:

Corruption is a cross-border problem. Solely national-level solutions can be incomplete and are complemented by international agreements. TI will advance the capacity of anti-corruption conventions, internationally agreed upon rules and standards to reduce corruption. In particular we will actively promote the implementation, enforcement and monitoring of the landmark UN Convention against Corruption (2003); African Union Anti-Corruption Convention (2003), Council of Europe Conventions against Corruption (1999), OECD Anti-Bribery Convention (1997) and Inter-American Convention against Corruption (1996). We will maintain productive dialogue with those governmental bodies responsible for convention implementation and enforcement and work to increase the participation of civil society in our monitoring efforts. Special emphasis will be made in this work to promote civil society’s role in the recovery of stolen assets and on the role of the judiciary in enforcing anti-corruption laws.
