December 9th. Is Anti-Corruption Day

A resolution was signed on October 31, 2003, by the General Assembly, that declared December 9 as International Anti-Corruption Day. This decision was taken in order to raise awareness of corruption and of the role of the United Nations Convention against Corruption in combating and preventing it.

The Assembly urged all States and competent regional economic integration organizations to sign and ratify the United Nations Convention against Corruption as soon as possible in order to ensure its rapid entry into force.

Lets stand united, on this day, and hold corrupt individuals responsible for their actions.
