State of Implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (Second edition)

The present study is based on that information and contains a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of chapters III (Criminalization and law enforcement) and IV (International cooperation) of the Convention by the 156 States parties reviewed at the time of drafting as part of the first cycle of the Implementation Review Mechanism, which began in 2010. More specifically, the study: (a) identifies and describes trends and patterns in the implementation of the above-mentioned chapters, focusing on systematic or, where possible, regional commonalities and variations; (b) highlights successes and good practices on the one hand, and challenges in implementation on the other, and presents a selection of examples of implementation that are considered noteworthy or illustrative of the legislation and practice of
States parties; and (c) provides an overview of the emerging understanding of the Convention
and differences in the reviews, where they have been encountered.
