• Weakens democratic institutions, undermines the delivery of justice
and distorts the rule of law.
• Encourages conflict, undermines the stability of states, is an
obstacle to consolidating peace and is a barrier to reconstruction
and consolidation in post-conflict countries.
• Shares a nexus with organized crime in its various forms including
drug/human trafficking, transnational crimes and terrorism.
• Violates human rights and subverts political rights and free
expression, for example through the distortion of election results.
• Weakens both domestic and international resource mobilization
efforts and affects efforts to improve domestic capacities for tax
and other revenue collection.
• Discourages the inflow of official development assistance and
impacts on the implementation of investment promotion
regimes for least developed countries.

The added value of UNCAC
UNCAC as Comprehensive Programming Framework not only in the area of
Justice but as a tool to mainstream anti-corruption measures into different
sectors
UNCAC Implementation Reviews as
(neutral) entry points for dialogue
and for pro-integrity reforms
UNCAC as directly relevant to the
achievement of SDG 16
Impact
Broad inclusion of stakeholders – civil society and private sector
Renewed impetus to UNCAC ratification and accession
A forum for knowledge development, exchange & peer learning
A forum for TA needs identification and matching
Improvement of national coordination
A catalyst for anti-corruption reforms
Examples

Supporting corruption risk
assessment and
management (wildlife and
fisheries authorities)
Mentoring law
enforcement in financial
investigations
Increasing global
knowledge on how wildlife
crime is being perpetrated
Stronger, more
transparent and
effective
institutions
Reduced risk of
corruption
More targeted
actions
Gender and Corruption Expert Group Meeting
Bangkok – September 2018
More research is needed!
• Gender disaggregated data
needed to facilitate evidence-
based policymaking and to
enable the development of
gender-specific approaches to
fight corruption.
• Need to complement this with
qualitative investigation/
analysis
Why UNODC fights corruption in sport?
“Sports bring out the best of us. Honour
and fair play are integral to the conduct of
sporting events, and to our enjoyment of
them.
But the joy that sports bring to billions of
fans around the world can so easily be
marred by crooked practices such as
match-fixing. Corruption and the
involvement of trans-national organized
crime in sport undermine confidence in
results and tarnish reputations. Added to
this, the huge profits generated by match-
fixing can be channelled into other illegal
activities.”
- Mr. Yury Fedotov,
Executive Director, UNODC
(Good Practices in the
Investigation of Match-Fixing)
