Doha: Qatar is set to host five-day 11th session of the Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) which will begin today with over 2500 participants from across the globe. 

The hosting of global conference stems from Qatar’s firm belief in the importance of fighting corruption within the agendas of the United Nations and international organisations and in line with its longstanding commitment to supporting global efforts to prevent and combat corruption.

The conference, from December 15 to 19, is the largest and most significant global gathering dedicated to combating corruption and promoting integrity and transparency. 

It brings together all 192 States Parties to the Convention, in addition to over 2,500 participants representing governments, regional and international organisations, anti-corruption experts, as well as representatives of the private sector, civil society, and youth.

The UNCAC is the only legally binding global instrument for combating corruption. The Convention’s far-reaching approach and the mandatory nature of many of its provisions make it a unique instrument for addressing a global challenge.
