Abstract
In recent years, corruption has become a global issue, with countries striving to combat its rapid spread. Governments have lost power due to corrupt practices, leading to changes in leadership in nations like Italy, South Korea, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, South Africa, France, and India. Peaceful protests against corruption, particularly bribery, are occurring worldwide. While such protests are not new, corruption as a global political issue has gained recognition only in the last decade, necessitating a global response. International and non-governmental organizations like the United Nations, Organization of American States, International Chamber of Commerce, Transparency International, World Economic Forum, Interpol, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development are addressing the issue. Efforts focus on curbing the rapid spread of corruption, an entrenched phenomenon in global politics. Many political parties rise to power with anti-corruption agendas but often become corrupt themselves. We are at a historical turning point with increased awareness and collective action against corruption.
