The Convention was opened for signature at a High-Level Signing Conference held in Mexico from 9 to 11 December 2003. As such\, the General Assembly designated 9 December as International Anti-Corruption Day (IACD)\, to raise awareness of corruption and of the role of the Convention in combating and preventing it. \nThe UNCAC places a premium on the prevention of corruption as a fundamental aspect of criminal justice. It provides for a comprehensive range of preventive anti-corruption measures in a dedicated Chapter (Chapter II) which precedes the Chapter on criminalization and law enforcement. Several provisions of the Convention address the private sector. Among them\, Article 12\, under Chapter II\, calls upon States parties to ensure “…that private enterprises\, taking into account their structure and size\, have sufficient internal auditing controls to assist in preventing and detecting acts of corruption…”. As such\, the prevention of corruption is an obligation for the corporate world too. \nThe theme of International Anti-Corruption Day 2021 is: “Your right\, your role: say no to corruption”. The key message is that a corruption-free word is everybody’s right\, and that anti-corruption efforts are everybody’s responsibility – governments\, companies\, professions\, society and individuals alike. The second key message is that policies\, laws and mechanisms must be in place\, in public and private sectors\, for individuals to be able to speak up and say no to this crime without fear of unjustified treatment. An environment where individuals feel free to report wrongdoings\, in good faith and on reasonable grounds\, contributes to a culture of lawfulness and integrity. It provides a strong deterrent to corrupt practices by those who count on low detection risks if not impunity. \nGiovanni Gallo will explain the ongoing role of the UNODC as the “managers” of the UNCAC\, their efforts to raise awareness and promote the speak-up culture around reporting corruption and how the Convention addresses the role of the private sector. There will also be a description of a significant integrity initiative developed by the World Bank to establish longer term funding for anti-corruption initiatives. Duncan Smith from the European Investment Bank will then describe anti-corruption efforts from a multi-lateral bank perspective – investigating and sanctioning governments and corporations who engage in corrupt acts in MDB funded projects\, and how they can assist in building integrity cultures in the private sector. Finally\, Basha Galvin from the Association of Corporate Investigators will explain how the ACi can assist the global fight against corruption through training\, education and raising of investigative standards in the corporate world. \nThe significant impact of corruption on society calls for each of us to play a role in its prevention. Join our high calibre and experienced speakers on International Anti Corruption Day 2021 for this ‘must watch’ webinar.  \n Register \nPanel \nMr. Giovanni Gallo\, Chief of the Implementation Support Section Corruption and Economic Crime Branch\nDivision for Treaty Affairs\, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime \nMr. Giovanni Gallo is the Chief of the Implementation Support Section of the Corruption and Economic Crime Branch at UNODC.
