Abstract
"Wherever corruption thrives, democracy and human rights suffer. Billions of people still cannot trust their politicians and police to serve them, or are forced to pay bribes to get access to basic health care and education. The TI Global Corruption Barometer 2004, a public opinion survey of more than 50,000 people in 63 countries, found that political parties, parliaments, the police and the judiciary continue to be rated the most corrupt institutions by citizens worldwide. TI took a hard look at money in politics in the Global Corruption Report 2004, which also launched the TI standards on political finance and favours. Global awareness of the problem of corruption is on the rise. On 9 December 2004, activists worldwide marked the first-ever International Anti-Corruption Day. This day – which TI had lobbied hard to initiate – was also a chance to raise awareness of the UN Convention against Corruption. Over a year after the convention was signed, we are close to achieving the 30 required ratifications required for its entry into force. However no G8 or EU countries have ratified. TI is helping with the development of an effective monitoring system, so that the convention can really bring about change."(pg 1)
