The U.S. Government, coordinated by the Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), has announced that it is partnering with Transparency International (TI) to support the 20th edition of the International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC) to be held in Washington, DC, December 6-10, 2022, with a theme of “Uprooting Corruption: Defending Democratic Values.”
The government argued that corruption undermines democracy and respect for human rights, impedes investment, stifles economic growth, hampers government services, and allows criminality to flourish.
