📖 О международном антикоррупционном сотрудничестве

Читайте полностью

🇷🇺 Российская Федерация последовательно выступает за укрепление сотрудничества государств в деле противодействия коррупции при центральной координирующей роли ООН и на основе Конвенции ООН против коррупции.

Значительное внимание уделяется обеспечению российского участия в Антикоррупционной рабочей группе «Группы двадцати». Последний ежегодный доклад о прогрессе #G20 был сфокусирован на вопросах противодействия коррупции на таможне и в спорте.

Перспективным является антикоррупционный формат #БРИКС, позволяющий координировать там подходы «пятёрки» к наиболее значимым вопросам международного антикоррупционного сотрудничества, а также оказывать поддержку инициативам партнёров на различных международных площадках. В числе приоритетных пунктов повестки дня объединения – противодействие бегству коррупционеров от правосудия и сокрытию их капиталов.

Российская Федерация также входит в Межгосударственный совет по противодействию коррупции в рамках #СНГ, состоит в Группе по борьбе с коррупцией и обеспечению транспарентности #АТЭС, является участницей ряда профильных международных соглашений.

Значительное внимание уделяется антикоррупционному образованию. Россия ведет профильные проекты с Управлением ООН по наркотикам и преступности и Международной антикоррупционной академией. В последние годы реализовано большое количество обучающих инициатив совместно с партнёрами по БРИКС.
