The United Nations Convention against Corruption (hereinafter UNCAC) is the most comprehensive international legally-binding instrument to prevent and fight corruption.

It contains innovative provisions in the areas of prevention; criminalization and law enforcement; international cooperation; and asset recovery.

The Convention places a premium on the provision of technical assistance to support developing States’ efforts to ratify and implement it. Such assistance relates to the establishment of domestic normative and institutional frameworks consistent with the requirements of the Convention and the adoption of measures to enable States to cooperate internationally with a view to recovering proceeds of corruption.

At present, 191 States and the European Union are parties to the Convention. As guardian of the Convention, UNODC has been tasked with supporting States parties in their implementation efforts.

Along with other bilateral and multilateral technical assistance providers, UNODC provides a comprehensive range of anti-corruption programmes and initiatives, including capacity-building of anti-corruption authorities, training for law enforcement officers and prosecutors, and support to develop anti-corruption legislative frameworks, policies and strategies. Ensuring that a gender dimension is incorporated into ongoing as well as new programmes can only enhance their effectiveness and sustainability.
