Time for a real change | Transparency International

Описание: Every 9 December, we celebrate International Anti-Corruption Day – an opportunity for the global community to reflect on the progress and challenges in the fight against corruption. Also to consider the necessary steps to hold power to account for the common good effectively.

This year, it falls ahead of the 10th Conference of the States Parties (CoSP) to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), where leaders from across the globe gather to make policy decisions and pave the way forward in our collective effort to counter corruption. In celebration of UNCAC’s 20th anniversary, it is also a pivotal moment to reflect on the advances promoted by the convention and reconsider measures to strengthen its implementation and follow-up mechanisms – which are urgently needed.

When gathered in Atlanta, UNCAC States Parties should make new, meaningful commitments to effectively address corruption while protecting democracy and promoting sustainable development. They should agree on measures to put an end to beneficial ownership secrecy, political financing opacity and shrinking civic space.
