A/RES/60/177
23. We are convinced that the expeditious entry into force and subsequent
implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption are central to
the efforts made at the international level to fight corruption and therefore accord
high priority to supporting efforts to that end and call upon all States that have not
yet done so to seek to sign, ratify or accede to the Convention.
24. We are also convinced that the proper management of public affairs and
public property and the rule of law are essential to the prevention and control of
corruption, including, inter alia, through effective measures for its investigation and
prosecution. Furthermore, we recognize that, in order to curb corruption, it is
necessary to promote a culture of integrity and accountability in both the public and
the private sector.
25. We are convinced that asset recovery is one of the essential components
of the United Nations Convention against Corruption and, for that reason, we
emphasize the need to adopt measures to facilitate asset recovery that are consistent
with the principles of that Convention.
26. We are conscious of the challenge of investigating and prosecuting
complex cases involving economic and financial crimes, including moneylaundering. We call upon Member States to strengthen policies, measures and
institutions for national action and international cooperation in the prevention,
investigation and prosecution of economic and financial crimes, including moneylaundering, and such crimes conducted by means of, or facilitated by, information
technologies, in particular in connection with the financing of terrorism and
trafficking in illicit drugs.
27. We are conscious of the crucial importance of tackling document and
identity fraud in order to curb organized crime and terrorism. We seek to improve
international cooperation, including through technical assistance, to combat
document and identity fraud, in particular the fraudulent use of travel documents,
through improved security measures, and encourage the adoption of appropriate
national legislation.
28. We recommend that voluntary contributions and appropriate technical
assistance be made available to developing countries to strengthen their capacity in
order to support their efforts to fight effectively economic and financial crimes.
29. As appropriate, we endeavour to use and apply the United Nations
standards and norms in our national programmes for crime prevention and criminal
justice reform and to undertake, as needed, efforts to ensure their wider
dissemination. We endeavour to facilitate appropriate training for law enforcement
officials, including prison officials, prosecutors, the judiciary and other relevant
professional groups, taking into account those norms and standards and best
practices at the international level.
30. We recommend that the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal
Justice give consideration to reviewing the adequacy of standards and norms in
relation to prison management and prisoners.
31. We note with concern that the physical and social conditions associated
with imprisonment may facilitate the spread of HIV/AIDS in pretrial and
correctional facilities and thus in society, thereby presenting a critical prison
management problem; we call upon States to develop and adopt measures and
guidelines, where appropriate and in accordance with national legislation, to ensure
that the particular problems of HIV/AIDS are adequately addressed in such
facilities.
