Freedom from corruption
■ CORRUPTION:
Corruption is an insidious plague that has a wide range
of corrosive effects on societies. It undermines democracy
and the rule of law, leads to violations of human rights,
distorts markets, erodes the quality of life and allows
organized crime, terrorism and other threats to human
security to flourish. This evil phenomenon is found in all
countries.

Official corruption
Official corruption is typically .understood as a means by
which established human rights are violated, but not as a
direct violation. Freedom from official corruption is not
enshrined as a universal and inalienable right to which a
person isinherently entitled.

Freedom of corruption Index
Definition: The score for the Freedom of corruption index is
derived primarily from Transparency International’s
Corruption Perceptions Index. For countries that are not
covered in the CPI the freedom from corruption score is
determined by using information from internationally
recognized and reliable sources. Higher index values denote
lower level of corruption.
