Communities across the globe today marked International Anti-Corruption Day on Tuesday, a worldwide event dedicated to elevating public consciousness about the critical need for anti-graft initiatives.
This annual commemoration, held each year on the 9th of December, serves as a focal point for governments, civil society, and individuals to unite in their efforts against corrupt practices.
The global observance traces its origins to a landmark decision by the United Nations.
It was established following the passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption on October 31, 2003, creating a formal platform to promote transparency and accountability.
