The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), through its Commission on Anti-Corruption,played an active role in the consultation process leading up to the signing of the Convention, providing business input into the negotiations and highlighting key areas of priority for international business. ICC, the world business organization, presents in this statement its views on the UN Convention against Corruption and calls all signatory countries to work towards its rapid ratification and implementation into national law. In this context, ICC firmly believes that the establishment of an appropriate UN-led monitoring process will be fundamental to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of the Convention by all signatories.
