UN Secretary-General António Guterres told an anti-corruption conference on Monday that corruption spreads through societies and erodes people’s trust in leaders and institutions.
He added “greed over need, harms us all”.
In a video message to the Conference of States Parties to the UN Convention against Corruption (CoSP9) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, he warned that countries investing in COVID-19 recovery, “must guard against the diversion of vital resources by criminal opportunists”.
