UN and its Role in Preventing and Combating Corruption

Summary/Abstract: The last decades of our century are characterized by a development of international relations, in which the aspects of interstate cooperation occupy an essential place. A distinct factor of this process is the large number of states and people that take part in these political, legal, economic relations, etc., as well as their tendency to participate on an equal footing in solving the problems of the contemporary world. An essential contribution to the establishment and intensification of current relations of global cooperation has the institutional framework — permanent and global — created after the Second World War, represented by the United Nations. Thus, UN member states, without exception or discrimination, have the right and duty to participate in the examination, debate and resolution of all issues of interest to the international community. One of the problems analyzed by the UN member states is the phenomenon of corruption, which is the enemy of democracy that can restrict and violate fundamental human rights and freedoms. In fact, corruption can affect not only citizens but also civil servants, as well as the quality of public services, undermine political, economic and / or legal systems, including support for terrorist financing, encourage extremism, lower tax revenues and support organized crime networks.
