The subject of this article concerns the international mechanisms for combating corruption. In fact, by examining the documents and institutions available at the international level, efforts can be made to prevent and tackle corruption in various respects. Thus, one can first of all refer to the United Nations Convention against Corruption, which states by adhering to it and applying its guidelines in the field of prevention and counteracting, to make their own laws based on it.
