For reference
International Anti-Corruption Day is celebrated annually on 9 December, the day the UN Convention against Corruption was adopted.
UNCAC (2003) is a universal international agreement that defines mechanisms for preventing corruption, criminalising offences, international cooperation and asset recovery.
The Conference of the States Parties to UNCAC is the key body for monitoring the implementation of the Convention and setting global priorities in the fight against corruption.
