TIAP supports the ratification process of the UN Convention Against Corruption. The UNCAC obliges to implement a wide and detailed range of anti-corruption measures affecting laws, institutions and practices in the public and private sector. These measures include prevention, detection and sanctioning of corruption, as well as the cooperation between State Parties on these matters. TIAP National Chapters across the region carried out activities to promote international legal standards enshrined in the Convention, raise the awareness of the Convention and further strengthen the fight against corruption.

In 2004, APEC Leaders "agreed that corruption was a serious threat to good governance and deterred investment."

TIAP supports the APEC Course of Action. For more information, click here.
