Events being organised to mark International Anti-Corruption Day

Since the passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption in 2003, 9 December has been earmarked as the International Anti-Corruption Day.

The seriousness of problems and threats posed by corruption to the stability and security of societies cannot be understated, the Cyprus Integrity Forum noted in a relevant announcement to the press.

In our efforts to promote and strengthen measures to prevent and combat corruption efficiently and effectively, the Cyprus Integrity Forum is organising a number of events to raise public awareness around the International Anti-Corruption Day," the announcement continued, going on to list the below.
