The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC)
is a multilateral convention negotiated by members of the United Nations. It is
the first global legally binding international anti-corruption instrument. In
its 71 Articles divided into 8 Chapters, UNCAC requires that States Parties
implement several anti-corruption measures which may affect their laws,
institutions and practices. These measures aim at preventing corruption, including domestic and foreign bribery, embezzlement, trading in influence and money laundering.
Furthermore, the UNCAC is intended to strengthen international law
enforcement and judicial cooperation, providing effective legal mechanisms for asset
recovery, technical assistance and information exchange, and mechanisms for implementation of the
Convention, including the Conference of the States Parties to the United
Nations Convention against Corruption (CoSP).
