The United Nations Convention against Corruption is the first legally binding global anti-corruption instrument. It was adopted by UN General Assembly Resolution No. 58/4 of October 31, 2003 and entered into force on December 14, 2005. Russia was among the first to sign it in December 2003 and ratified it on March 8, 2006.

In accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 18, 2008 No. 1799, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation is designated as the body responsible for implementing the provisions of the UN Convention against Corruption in all matters of mutual legal assistance, with the exception of civil law matters.

Representatives of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation take an active part in the work of the Conference of the States Parties to the UN Convention against Corruption, the activities of the Intergovernmental working group on the review of the implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption, the Intergovernmental Working Group on the Prevention of Corruption and the Intergovernmental Working Group on Asset Recovery.

During these events, advanced methods of combating corruption, issues of preventing, detecting and suppressing the legalization of proceeds from corruption crimes, strengthening international cooperation in taking action for the recovery of assets.

On the margins of these meetings, the work of the mechanism for reviewing the implementation of the provisions of the UN Convention against Corruption by the states parties in general, the results of the assessments of the countries' implementation of the provisions of the UN Convention against Corruption are also discussed.

In 2013, in relation to the Russian Federation, the first cycle of the review mechanism for the implementation of chapters III “Criminalization and law enforcement” and IV “International Cooperation” of the UN Convention against Corruption, which resulted in a report published on the official website of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation on the Internet.

According to UN experts, Russian legislation and practice of its application generally comply with global anti-corruption standards.

At the 6th session of the Conference of the States Parties to the UN Convention against Corruption (November 2015), the launch of the second cycle of the mechanism for reviewing the implementation of chapters II "Measures to prevent corruption" and V "Measures for the recovery of assets" of the UN Convention against Corruption was announced.

In addition, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, within the framework of joint project with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) organizes training workshops for government experts and contact points from various countries participating in the review mechanism of the implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption.

The first such workshop was organized in 2012. It was attended by representatives of the CIS countries, Central and of Eastern Europe. The results of the seminar were highly appreciated by both its participants and UNODC representatives.

The next seminar was held on the basis of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation in June 2013. The geography of international cooperation was significantly expanded: 26 government experts from 22 countries of Europe, the CIS, as well as Africa, Asia and Latin America were trained.

In December 2014, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, in cooperation with UNODC, conducted a three-day regional training course for experts involved in the review of the implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption. The course was attended by representatives of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, UNODC and the World Bank, as well as experts from Brunei, Botswana, East Timor, Vietnam, Iran, Malaysia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Tanzania, Zambia, the Philippines and South Korea.

On November 11, 1990, the Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances entered into force.

The Convention was adopted on December 19, 1988 by the United Nations (UN) at the Vienna Conference of Plenipotentiaries of 106 UN Member States, including the USSR. The Soviet Union ratified the Convention on October 9, 1990. For the USSR, the Convention entered into force on April 17, 1991.

The first international treaty in the field of combating illicit drug trafficking was the 1912 Hague Convention, which established that the production, sale and use of drugs should be limited by law and be carried out exclusively in medical purposes. In subsequent years, nine more international legal acts to combat drug trafficking were adopted. One of the most important acts is the Convention on the Prohibition illegal trade drugs in 1936.

To unify international treaties (with the exception of the 1936 Convention), in 1961 the UN adopted the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, and in 1971, in order to legally regulate the fight against illicit trafficking in psychotropic substances, the Convention on Psychotropic Substances was adopted. These conventions oblige States to impose a penalty of imprisonment for all serious and intentional illicit transactions in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.

The 1988 UN Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances is a typical multilateral convention for combating a particular type of international crime. To date, it is the fundamental document on the basis of which the countries parties to the Convention build their national legislation in this area.

The adoption of this important document for the world community was dictated by the need to further improve the control measures provided for by the two previous UN Conventions. At the same time, the main emphasis is placed on strengthening the effectiveness of legal means of international cooperation.

The Convention focused on the need to establish interstate relations in the fight against illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.

The document defines a list of narcotic drugs and types of actions (trafficking) with them, which are prosecuted in accordance with international and national legislation.

The Convention introduced several fundamentally new offenses, including the organization, management or financing of drug-related crimes.

The Convention does not exclude any criminal jurisdiction established by any Party under its national law. It is especially emphasized that in the implementation of their obligations under this Convention, the parties accept necessary measures, including those of an organizational and legislative nature, corresponding to the fundamental articles of their internal legislative systems.

The parties to the Convention may provide each other with the widest form of mutual legal assistance, consider the possibility of mutual transfer of materials for the criminal prosecution of offenses related to illicit trafficking in narcotic and psychotropic drugs, if such transfer is in the interests of the proper administration of justice.

Unlike the provisions of the 1961 and 1971 Conventions, which set out in detail the control measures for narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, the 1988 Convention outlines only general control measures: it is expected that governments should develop their own specific control measures to implement these general provisions.

An important provision of the Convention is the establishment of control over precursors (substances that are used in the manufacture of drugs).

One of the main points of the Convention is the definition of aggravating circumstances for drug offences. The Convention obliges to concentrate efforts on identifying organized criminal gangs and directs States to take all necessary measures to prevent illicit drug production.

Under the 1988 Convention, States Parties have agreed to modernize their national laws to facilitate the confiscation of drug proceeds. It is envisaged to allow the courts to reveal the secrecy of bank deposits in the course of investigating cases related to narcotic drugs; facilitate issuance and prosecution accused drug dealers; prevent illegal mailings; install a surveillance system international trade precursors.

For the first time in international practice The convention provides for controlled deliveries, which is a method of working law enforcement, which allows the import (export, transportation) into the territory of one or more countries of illegal or suspicious consignments of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances or substances replacing them, with the knowledge and under the supervision of the competent services in order to identify persons involved in the commission of drug-related crimes.

Together with the 1961 and 1971 Conventions, the 1988 Convention is supported by the international community, and on their basis, interaction is carried out between the vast majority of the planet's states.

The Russian Federation controls the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances and establishes responsibility for actions in the sphere of their illegal circulation in accordance with international treaties on these issues. UN conventions have been ratified Soviet Union(The 1972 Protocol to the Single Convention of 1961 was ratified by Russia on November 23, 1995).

In order to implement international documents in the Russian Federation, a federal law of January 8, 1998 "On Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances" (with subsequent amendments) was adopted.

Signing in Merida (Mexico) from 9 to 11 December 2003 of the UN Convention against Corruption (entered into force on 14 December 2005) was the most important event in strengthening the international legal framework in the field of combating corruption.
Active work on the development of this Convention began immediately after the adoption of another global UN Convention against transnational organized crime. The Special Committee received the appropriate mandate to develop an international legal instrument against corruption on the basis of UN General Assembly resolutions 55/61 of December 4, 2000 and 55/260 of January 31, 2002.
In accordance with the mandate received, the Special Committee organized seven sessions, during which its participants managed to outline the main contours and structure of the new convention, decide on the main concepts and tools for its implementation, and develop appropriate control mechanisms.
The structure of the new Convention is traditional for international documents of this kind. It consists of a preamble and eight chapters, each of which is devoted to independent aspects of the fight against corruption.
The preamble describes Negative consequences from corruption, its impact on various institutions state power, the level of social economic development countries, social and democratic values, an analysis is made of the existence of a close correlation between corruption and other forms of organized crime, international legal sources are indicated that served as the basis for the preparation of this Convention.
Chapter 1 titled General provisions and includes norms that reveal the objectives of this Convention, as well as containing a rather voluminous conceptual apparatus.
The objectives of the UN Convention against Corruption are: a) to promote the adoption and strengthening of measures aimed at more effective and efficient prevention of and fight against corruption; b) encouraging, facilitating and supporting international cooperation and technical assistance in preventing and combating corruption, including the adoption of asset recovery measures; c) promotion of honesty, integrity, responsibility and proper management of public affairs and public property.
Chapter 2 is titled Measures to prevent corruption and is central to the Convention itself. In this section for the first time on such a high international level an attempt was made to determine the essence and content of the policy of preventing and combating corruption. Unlike a set of individual measures against corruption, the policy of preventing and combating corruption implies active state participation and is a more accurate and comprehensive tool in the fight against this socially dangerous phenomenon.
The Convention contains a mechanism for preventing conflicts of interest. This purpose is served by the obligation established for public officials to submit a declaration of their financial interests and sources of income and, where necessary, to publish this information in the media.
The provisions of the Convention on the Procedure for Adopting and Issuing a Code of Conduct for Public Officials (Standards of Conduct) serve the same purpose - preventing conflicts of interest. Certain fundamental principles of such standards should be taken into account by the participating countries when developing their legislation.
The UN Convention against Corruption recommends that member countries designate a special authorized body for the prevention and fight against corruption, and report on decision UN Secretary General. Based on the requirements of the Convention, such a state body should be entrusted with supervisory and coordinating functions in the field of implementation public policy on combating corruption.
Chapter 3 Criminalization and law enforcement activities qualify: bribery of national and foreign public officials, officials of public international organizations; theft, misappropriation or other diversion of property by a public official; laundering of proceeds of crime; obstruction of justice; abuse of influence for personal gain; abuse of office; illicit enrichment (an increase in the assets of a public official in excess of his legitimate income, which he cannot properly explain); theft of property in the private sector; concealment or wrongful detention of property, if such property is known to have been obtained as a result of the commission of offenses established in such a Convention.
A key place in the convention is occupied by the compositions on bribery of national and foreign public officials. The structures of these offenses are united by a number of features. Thus, the objective side of the crime, expressed in active bribery, is manifested primarily in the promise, offer and provision by the initiator of a bribe to public officials of any undue advantages. Passive bribery is associated with extortion or the taking of undue advantages by public officials.
The UN calls on member states international relations to active cooperation in the fight against corruption, including the provision of technical assistance in the investigation of corruption and the return of funds obtained as a result of corrupt transactions to the countries to which they belong. Almost half of the text of the Convention is devoted to the regulation of these relations (chapter 4 International cooperation and chapter 6 Technical assistance and exchange of information).
Chapter V Measures for the return of assets contains a requirement for the return by States Money and other assets obtained through corruption to the country from which they were stolen.
The Convention contains provisions obliging states to take measures to prevent and detect transfers of criminal proceeds. Article 52 requires States Parties to exercise tighter-than-usual controls on accounts attempted to open or maintained by persons with or who have held significant public authority, their family members and associates closely associated with them.
Article 53 establishes the regime for the direct return of assets. Each State Party shall, in accordance with its domestic law, take such measures as may be necessary to: (a) allow another State Party to bring civil actions in its courts to establish ownership of property acquired as a result of any of the crimes; b) allow its courts to order those persons who have committed crimes to pay compensation or damages to the state that has suffered damage; (c) Allow its courts or competent authorities, in making confiscation orders, to recognize the claims of another State as the legal owner of property acquired as a result of any of the offences.
Articles 54 and 55 provide for a regime of international cooperation in matters of confiscation. Under this regime, a State Party that receives a request for confiscation from another State Party must choose, to the extent permitted by its internal legal system, one of the following two options: the requested State Party must either forward the request to its competent authorities with a view to obtaining an order of confiscation and, if such an order is issued, enforce it, or directly forward to its competent authorities a confiscation order issued by a court in the territory of the requesting State Party for the purpose of its execution to the extent specified in the request.
To further facilitate cooperation, article 55 includes guidance on what should be included in a request for confiscation (article 55, paragraph 3), as well as criteria for non-cooperation (article 55, paragraph 7). Under this article, cooperation may be refused if the requested State Party does not receive sufficient evidence in a timely manner.
So far, the Convention has been signed by 140 countries, and 46 states of the world have ratified it.
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime plays a leading role in supporting countries in the effective implementation of the Convention. It helps countries improve domestic anti-corruption regimes, ensure the establishment of institutions that can prevent and punish the most common types of corruption, and engage in international cooperation to bring perpetrators to justice, identify assets stolen from public treasuries and return those assets to their countries of origin.
The Office assists countries in developing anti-corruption strategies, implementing preventive measures and building the institutions needed to effective fight with corruption
In its resolution 59/242 of 22 December 2004, the General Assembly requested all Member States and competent regional organizations economic integration with a proposal to sign, ratify and fully implement the United Nations Convention against Corruption as soon as possible in order to ensure its early entry into force; recommended that all governments prevent, combat and criminalize corruption in all its forms, including bribery, money-laundering and the transfer of illicitly acquired assets, and seek the speedy return of such assets through asset recovery measures in accordance with the principles of the Convention, in particular with chapter V; further encouraged international cooperation, in particular through the United Nations system, in support of national, subregional and regional efforts to prevent and combat corruption and the transfer of assets of illicit origin; encouraged Member States to allocate adequate financial and human resources to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and encouraged Member States concerned international organizations and UNODC to publicize 9 December as international day fight against corruption, established by the General Assembly.

Ratification of the Convention by the Russian Federation

The Russian Federation signed the UN Convention against Corruption on December 9, 2003, and ratified it on March 8, 2006 (N 40-FZ). The federal law on ratification contains declarations on individual articles and clauses on which Russia has jurisdiction and is bound to comply. This list did not include, for example: Art. 20 "Illegal enrichment", Art. 26 "Responsibility of legal entities", art. 54 “Mechanisms for the seizure of property through international cooperation in the matter of confiscation”, art. 57 "Return of assets and disposal of them".

Article 20 "Illegal enrichment"

January 18, 2013 on the site opentown.org began a campaign to collect signatures in support of the bill of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation on the ratification of Article 20 of the UN Convention against Corruption. The people are against the illegal enrichment of officials! [ the significance of the fact? ] [ ]

In addition to the above, extensive discussions are being held around the topic of seizure of illegally acquired property. There are gaps in Russian legislation that do not allow officials to take away property acquired with illegally obtained funds. In the Federal Law of December 3, 2012 (No. 230-FZ) "On control over the compliance of expenses of persons holding public office and other persons with their income" art. 17 reads:

“The Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation or prosecutors subordinate to him, upon receipt of the materials provided for by Part 3 of Article 16 of this Federal Law, in the manner established by the legislation on civil proceedings, apply to the court with an application for the conversion of land plots, other real estate objects, transport vehicles into the income of the Russian Federation funds, securities, shares (participatory interests, shares in the authorized (share) capital of organizations), in respect of which the person replacing (occupying) one of the positions specified in Clause 1 of Part 1 of Article 2 of this Federal Law has not provided information confirming their acquisition with legitimate income.

However, the Law "On the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation" and the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation do not provide for these powers to seize illegally acquired property. Penal sanctions and dismissal are prescribed in Russian criminal law. In order to make the fight against corruption more effective, and the norm allowing the Prosecutor General or prosecutors subordinate to him to seize illegally acquired property in favor of the state through the courts, began to work, on September 24, 2013, the draft law “On Amendments to Article 22 of the Federal Law” was submitted to the State Duma. Law "On the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation" and Article 45 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation".

Project "20"

On September 25, 2014, Russian politician Alexei Navalny, known for his opposition activities, announced the start of a public campaign for the adoption of Article 20 of the UN Convention. He urged everyone to vote for the bill of the Fund fight against corruption. In this draft, in accordance with Article 20 of the UN Convention, it is proposed to introduce criminal penalties for " a significant excess of the value of the assets of an official over the amount of the legal income of such a person". At the same time, legitimate income is understood to be the income indicated in the declaration of this civil servant.

Navalny argues that the ratification of Article 20 will significantly facilitate the prosecution of high-ranking corrupt officials:

Our entire experience in the fight against corruption suggests that, unfortunately, we will not be able to prove now that a particular official Ivanov-Petrov […] took bribes. ... But we can prove that an official, receiving a certain amount of money, lived richer than he actually received. And this will be the basis for criminal prosecution.

According to Navalny, the ratification of Article 20 is hindered by the Russian authorities:

We are aware that, naturally, the authorities are categorically against it. They cannot legislate against themselves. Under this law, they will have to imprison half of the government.

civilian control

Art. 13 of the UN Convention against Corruption provides for the implementation of measures to combat corruption not only by the state authorities, but also by society:

“Each State Party shall take appropriate measures, within its capabilities and in accordance with the fundamental principles of its domestic law, to promote the active participation of individuals and groups outside the public sector, such as civil society, non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations , in preventing and combating corruption and to increase public understanding of the existence, causes and dangerous nature of corruption, as well as the threats it poses…”.

Thus, civil control over the implementation of the Convention plays an essential role in the fight against corruption. The exercise of control by civil society is possible if there are principles of transparency, access to information, intolerance towards corruption and increasing public knowledge about and fight against corruption. For example, the Federal Law of February 9, 2009 (N 8-FZ) "On ensuring access to information on the activities of state bodies and local governments", the Federal Law of December 3, 2012 (N 230-FZ) "On control over compliance of expenses of persons holding public positions and other persons with their income”, Federal Law of April 5, 2013 (N 44-FZ) “On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs” are designed to raise awareness citizens on the activities of government bodies, on the income and expenses of civil servants, as well as transparency and accountability to society of all public procurement and orders. De jure, the measures taken by the state should have increased the involvement of society in the fight against corruption, as well as the involvement of every citizen in the process of public control. However, inefficient law enforcement, and sometimes even its absence, prevent civil society from increasing pressure on the corruption system.

Russia's participation in other anti-corruption programs

In addition to the UN Convention against Corruption, the Russian Federation participates in various international and regional organizations, groups and programs aimed at combating and implementing anti-corruption mechanisms. Among them: the Council of Europe Convention on Laundering, Search, Seizure and Confiscation of the Proceeds of Crime, the Council of Europe Criminal Law Convention on Corruption, the Group States against Corruption Council Europe (GRECO), the OECD Convention against Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in the Implementation of International commercial transactions, Group development financial measures to combat money-laundering (FATF) , model laws “On Combating Corruption” of April 3, 1999, “Fundamentals of Legislation on Anti-Corruption Policy” of November 15, 2003, “On Combating Corruption” (new edition) dated November 25, 2008, "On counteracting the legalization ("laundering") of illegally obtained income" dated April 3, 2008, the G8 Declaration of July 16, 2006 "Combating corruption at a high level" .
