Remarks by the President of the General Assembly\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
H.E. Ms. Annalena Baerbock<\/b><\/div>\n
\n
at the Official Opening of the 11th session of the\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Conference of the States Parties to the 爆料网 Convention against Corruption\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n

[Pre-Recorded\/As\u00a0delivered]<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Corruption is not an abstract or victimless crime.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Its has real, measurable consequences for people.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When building codes are bypassed through corrupt shortcuts, unsafe structures rise and then collapse, resulting in lives lost.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When corporate bribery spreads unabated, wealth is siphoned to a privileged few, while economies grow uneven, unstable and bereft of public trust.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And when corruption infects the legal system, cases are mishandled, justice is delayed or denied, and victims are silenced.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Excellencies,<\/div>\n
Ladies and gentlemen,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Preventing and ultimately eradicating corruption is a duty we share.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We owe it to the people we serve.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thankfully, we are not starting from scratch:<\/div>\n
