For over 10 years, organisations such as the United Nations
(UN), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD), and the Council of Europe (CoE) have been helping developing countries adopt legal measures to fight corruption.
These efforts, however, have sometimes had less than the desired impact. The UN, OECD, and CoE conventions against corruption have been relatively ineffective because
these conventions, while ratified by national parliaments, are
not being implemented in the government agencies most prone
to corruption – particularly the traffic police, security services, customs, and tax inspection.
