The United Nations agreement against Corruption did not provide a specific definition of it; it only provides a part on illegal actions and crimes of corruption commonly committed in various countries, such as bribery, embezzlement of property, abuse of power, illicit enrichment, money laundering, concealment of looted funds and obstruction of justice. This agreement gives the member states freedom to define corruption in accordance with their legal system. However, the widely used academic definition of corruption is “the abuse of delegated power for private gain”.
