On October 31, 2003, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the United Nations Convention against Corruption and designated December 9 as International Anti-Corruption Day, to raise awareness of corruption.
The 2015 joint international campaign focuses on how corruption undermines democracy and the rule of law, leads to human rights violations, distorts markets, erodes quality of life and allows organized crime, terrorism and other threats to human security to flourish.
The campaign #breakthechain also highlights that corruption is a cross-cutting crime, impacting many areas. It shows that acting against corruption is imperative to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all.
