Ethics, integrity ... and anti-corruption

Summary/Abstract: Corruption, as a crime and deviation from morality and duty, has been and is sanctioned by the rules of criminal law in any rule of law, and when acts of corruption are committed by civil servants, the sanctions are more serious. Anti-corruption policies within a public authority or institution focus on mechanisms and tools to raise awareness among civil servants about the status of the function and the public authority with which they are invested, so that the exercise of the public function is carried out in accordance with the specific norms of conduct focused on the interest of the citizen. Given that each public entity establishes its own rules of internal conduct and standards of ethics regarding its own activity, legislation has become a necessary and appropriate tool for harmonizing these anti-corruption policies by identifying common and specific standards, respectively, but also the establishment of uniform reports of good practices as well as of integrity incidents, which is reflected in national anti-corruption strategies and even at EU level. In this article we present the applicable national normative acts in the field, by reference to the requirements of the European Union, the functional principles that must be respected by public entities in the organizational integrity plan and we analyze the national legislative framework regarding the mechanisms for ensuring ethics and integrity in the operation of the public administration.
