December 9th is the International Anti-Corruption Day established by the United Nations. Every year on this day, the United Nations will call on countries around the world to hold relevant publicity activities, advocating the idea that "helping eliminate corruption is everyone's duty". The purpose of the festival is to raise awareness about corruption and the role of the United Nations Convention against Corruption in combating and preventing it. 140 countries around the world have signed the convention. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China reviewed and approved the Convention on October 27, 2005.

Purpose of the International Anti-Corruption Day

Under the initiative of the international anti-corruption organization "Transparency International", the United Nations decided to establish December 9th as the International Anti-Corruption Day to commemorate the signing of the convention and arouse the international community's attention and attention to corruption issues.

The origin of International Anti-Corruption Day

In order to effectively prevent and combat the continuous spread of corruption in countries around the world, the United Nations established an ad hoc committee in 2000 to formulate the United Nations Convention against Corruption. On October 31, 2003, the 58th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted the United Nations Convention against Corruption. From December 9th to 11th of the same year, the United Nations held a high-level international anti-corruption meeting in Merida, Mexico, and officially signed the "United Nations Convention against Corruption". Since then, the United Nations has decided to establish December 9 every year as the International Anti-Corruption Day to commemorate the signing of the convention and to arouse the attention and attention of the international community to corruption issues.

The core philosophy of International Anti-Corruption Day

International Anti-Corruption Day 2022 highlights the vital link between anti-corruption and peace, security and development. The core philosophy of International Anti-Corruption Day is:Fighting corruption is everyone's right and responsibility. Only by working together and making sure everyone and every institution is on board can we overcome the negative effects of corruption. Countries, government officials, civil servants, law enforcement officials, media representatives, the private sector, civil society, academia, the general public and youth all have a role to play in bringing the world together in the fight against corruption. International Anti-Corruption Day 2022 also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Convention against Corruption. Over the next year, leading up to International Anti-Corruption Day in 2023, we will reflect on the theme of "Making the world a better place together under the UN Convention against Corruption". More importantly, we will consider what gaps remain in building a better world in the years to come.
