UN adopts resolution linking corruption and human rights violations
The UN General Assembly, during its 59th session held in July 2025, confirmed what Corruption Watch and many other organisations and individuals around the world already know – that corruption and the violation of fundamental human rights are inextricably linked. The UN Human Rights Council adopted, by consensus, a resolution titled The negative impact of corruption on the enjoyment of human rights and called on governments to take steps to tackle the situation.
