UN Convention Against Corruption

United Nations Convention Against Corruption
(UNCAC)

In accordance with article 68 (1) of resolution 58/4, the United Nations Convention against Corruption entered into force on 14 December 2005. A Conference of the States Parties is established to review implementation and facilitate activities required by the Convention.

Cambodia acceded to the UNCAC on 5 September 2007

Convention Highlights


Criminalization

The Convention requires countries to establish criminal and other offences to cover a wide range of acts of corruption, if these are not already crimes under domestic law. In some cases, States are legally obliged to establish offences; in other cases, in order to take into account differences in domestic law, they are required to consider doing so.

The Convention goes beyond previous instruments of this kind, criminalizing not only basic forms of corruption such as bribery and the embezzlement of public funds, but also trading in influence and the concealment and laundering of the proceeds of corruption.

Offences committed in support of corruption, including money-laundering and obstructing justice, are also dealt with.

Convention offences also deal with the problematic areas of private-sector corruption.

People could not live without
justice.
The more injustice becomes,the
people rise up against the govt.

Time changed.Some time people do
the right things,but another time
they do the wrong things.

Some people keep doing the wrong
things because they addict to what
they do.
All people minds are changing
all the times.
In 24 hours,a person could change
his/her mind 50,000 times.
So,the UNCAC today it can be
justice,but another time will be
injustice.
