"With increasing understanding among societies of the damages that corruption does to individuals and societies as whole, the calls to ensure integrity of public officials and public institutions grow louder with day. At the same time, the States are interested in finding sustainable solutions to prevent and fight corruption," says a preview by the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In this side-event the global perspective on enhancing integrity will be given by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Senior Anti-Corruption Adviser, Tim Steele.
