IMPACTUL CORUPȚIEI ASUPRA REALIZĂRII DREPTURILOR OMULUI
The Impact of Corruption on the Realization of Human Rights

Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of corruption has a negative impact on the exercise of all human rights — civil, political, economic, social and cultural. The impact on the realization of human rights depends on the level of perception of the phenomenon of corruption and its forms of manifestation. Corruption undermines the functioning and legitimacy of institutions and processes, which undermines trust in state and government institutions. Corruption exists in all countries, regardless of their economic or political system and level of development, in the public and private spheres. It is a transnational phenomenon that requires effective international cooperation, including in the recovery of corruption revenues. Currently, the negative impact of corruption on human rights is being studied and evaluated on a global scale. Good governance and human rights are mutually reinforcing objectives and are based on the basic principles of participation, accountability and transparency, so they are approached from a new perspective. Human rights, such as civil and political rights, are fundamental, inherent and inalienable rights of human beings, however, abuses of power by state bodies can often harm them. The realization of human rights, including the right to information, freedom of expression and opinion, freedom of assembly and association and the independence of the judiciary — creates an enabling environment for efforts to prevent and remedy corrupt practices, for these reasons must be guaranteed and effectively enforced.
