Say “NO” to Corruption

If you see something, say something! 

People often think that corruption is “just a way of life”, but every society, sector and individual would benefit from saying “NO” to this crime.
Here are some examples of how you can say “NO” to corruption.

Ratify and enact the UN Convention against Corruption. UNCAC
Countries that successfully attack corruption are far more legitimate in the eyes of their citizens, creating stability and trust.

Know what UNCAC requires of your government and its officials.
Rooting out corruption allows social and economic development.

Educate the public about the government’s responsibility to be corruption-free. Equal and fair justice for all is a crucial element for a country’s stability and growth. It also helps to effectively fight crime.

Raise awareness with the public, media and government about the costs of corruption for key services such as health and education.
All of society benefits from functioning basic services.

Engage the youth of your country.  Teach them what ethical behaviour is, what corruption is and how to fight it, and teach them to demand their right to education.
Ensuring that future generations of citizens are brought up to expect corruption-free countries is one of the best tools to ensure a brighter future.

Report incidents of corruption.
Create an environment where the rule of law prevails.
