Monitoring the implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC)

Останнє оновлення: 18 Nov. 2024

The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) is the only universal legally binding instrument to fight corruption in the world. UNCAC obliges state parties to implement effective anti-corruption mechanisms. The monitoring of the Convention's implementation is based on mutual evaluation by the states parties. It involves each state being reviewed by two other states. The process is divided into two five-year cycles. During the first cycle, the implementation of the provisions of Chapters III and IV is evaluated, and during the second cycle, Chapters II and V are evaluated.
