As corruption eventually jeopardize further development, and economic, political and social stability, t has been prohibited and sanctioned by all states and the international community. Looking at all the harm it has, corruption becomes the subject of legal regulation from the first written laws and numerous criminal code and international acts that seek to define, suppress, eliminate and prosecute it. Therefore, this paper provides historical and legal review of the phenomenon and the effort to prevent and eradicate it. This paper presents an international- legal view of significant legal resources to deal with corruption and the author's conclusions are preparing to do so.
