International cooperation during times of emergencies, crisis response and recovery
|
Emergency, crisis and conflict situations present unique corruption vulnerabilities and constraints, making it even more important to integrate appropriate anti-corruption elements into emergency preparedness and crisis response and recovery.
The overall aim of the present document is to support the efforts of States parties to address the most prevalent corruption risks encountered at different stages of an emergency or crisis response, including at the national, international and multilateral levels.

This document consists of 13 high-level guidelines applicable during all stages of emergencies and crisis response and recovery. It is structured into three main sections, covering national legal and institutional frameworks, international cooperation, and multilateral and bilateral forums and assistance, preceded by an overarching section containing cross-cutting principles. That structure is intended to link the guidelines to the specific concerns and corruption risks arising in those different contexts. Each section begins with a context statement, and each guideline is followed by a non-exhaustive list of examples of implementation in the form of bullet points.
