International Anti-Corruption Day is celebrated every year on 9 December.
The main objective of celebrating this day is to spread awareness against corruption and motivate the civil society including government, private and non-government organizations to take joint action to eradicate corruption.
The 'United Nations Convention Against Corruption' was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in the year 2003 to celebrate this day.
According to UNO, every year around the world about 2.6 trillion dollars is lost either through bribery or corrupt practices.
Every year $1 trillion is paid as bribe.
The theme of this day of the year 2023 will be 'UNCAC. At 20: Uniting the World Against Corruption'.
