Corupţia, fenomen care afectează drepturile omului
Corruption, a phenomenon jeopardizing human rights

Summary/Abstract: Corruption is an antisocial phenomenon consisting in an illegal agreement between two parties, of which one proposes or promises privileges or illegitimate profits, while the other one, employed in the public service, consents or accepts them in exchange for taking or not taking certain functional actions that include elements of the crimes laid down in the Criminal Code. In Romania, corruption has become in recent years an increasing difficult-to-control phenomenon. It can be said that this scourge is the most serious problem faced by our country and that there is no field of activity free of corruption deeds, while in the sphere of public administration it has raised up to alarming levels. The fight against corruption, despite the results obtained so far, prove incapable to totally eliminate this phenomenon. This is so because, apart from the tacit complicity between the corrupter and the corrupted, the corruption phenomenon continues to be perceived as a mentality, a tradition, a behaviour.
