Shedding light on international corruption

In the two decades since the UN Convention against Corruption ('UNCAC') came into force, nations worldwide have presented a united front against the pervasive menace of corruption.

But harsh realities remain.

The recently released Corruption Perceptions Index ('CPI') report by Transparency International delivers a sobering blow, revealing little progress in combatting public sector corruption over the past decade. Alarmingly, this year a staggering 23 nations plummeted to their lowest scores on record.

It's testament to our ongoing struggle, with an average score of 43 for twelve consecutive years and more than two-thirds of nations falling below the 50 mark. It illustrates the entrenched challenges of corruption vividly.
