The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) have arranged “The United Nations Convention against Corruption and Leaders for Business Integrity”, a special event that has taken place on the margins of the tenth session of the Conference of the States Parties (CoSP) to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) from 11 to 12 December 2023, in Atlanta, United States of America. On the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), we, the undersigned businesses, present this appeal to governments, to intensify governance and anti-corruption efforts to promote a new social contract based on the principles of integrity, transparency and accountability, in alignment with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 of Agenda 2030. By signing the Call-to-Action, we respectfully call on Governments to Effectively implement the tenets of the UN Convention against Corruption to level the playing field, taking into account the diversity of contexts and the challenges faced by the business community worldwide. On that basis, strengthen policies, legal frameworks, and mechanisms to incentivize business integrity in companies along the supply chain and to tackle impunity by detecting and sanctioning wrongdoing. In Government decision-making processes, especially for investments and public procurement, increase the use of corporate sustainability criteria to advance SDG-focused business. In public-private interactions, strive for greater transparency, including in the management of conflicts of interest and through the prevention of undue influence. Foster a Collective Action approach to strengthen governance and anti-corruption using public-private partnerships, dialogue, and the engagement of all relevant actors to generate inclusive and innovative solutions for the broader benefit of people and the planet. Leverage information and communication technology (ICT) along with artificial intelligence to manage corruption risks and make evidence-based decisions while strengthening oversight and transparency. To boost accountability, encourage the use of ICT to monitor, evaluate, and report governance and anti-corruption efforts undertaken by the public and private sectors. Promote the principles of ethical leadership in education by instilling skills that nurture the minds of future business leaders, ensuring their commitment to standards of fairness and integrity in the workplace of tomorrow.

On Internatonal Women’s Day

The mankind will not exist if there is no woman on this planet .Nature gave this power to woman to carry the source of existence.In today’s world even there are lots of awareness and activities to protect the rights of women there are still many evidence of discrimination and abuse for women . Women are still facing difficulties to live a decent and happy life . The physical or gender differences should not matter , what is most important is that we are all human being and Humanity is above all .
