Every year on December 9th, International Anti-corruption Day raises public awareness for anti-corruption. It also encourages the public to work on innovative solutions aimed at winning the battle against corruption.
On 31 October 2003, the General Assembly adopted the United Nations Convention against Corruption and requested that the Secretary-General designate the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) as secretariat for the Convention’s Conference of States Parties (resolution 58/4).
The Assembly also designated 9 December as International Anti-Corruption Day, to raise awareness of corruption and of the role of the Convention in combating and preventing it. The Convention entered into force in December 2005.
International Anti-corruption day 2020 theme is “RECOVER with INTEGRITY”.
The theme highlights that only by putting effective corruption mitigation measures in place will a better recovery be possible, while it also emphasizes that inclusive Current Pandemic recovery can only be achieved with integrity.
