Promote peace and end violence, that is what the Nobel Peace Prize is about. This can only be achieved through a true democracy, respectful of all citizens and governed by honest individuals. Congratulations to @MariaCorinaYA and all Venezuelans fighting for a better future. 👇
💛 Felicitamos a @MariaCorinaYA por este reconocimiento histórico. Que este Nobel sirva para mirar hacia Venezuela, y no solo aplaudirla, sino ayudarla a sanar. #NobelDeLaPaz #Venezuela #Transparencia

« The problem is that law in practice is pretty ignored », says @pablosecchi about campaign financing in Argentina. True of many countries and integrity laws enacted over the past decades. Enforcement bodies have to be adequately resourced and free from undue influence. 👇

Violence should never be used against peaceful protests. In #Madagascar and everywhere else, peaceful protests have to be answered, not repressed. 👇
#Madagascar @antonioguterres "calls on the authorities to comply with international HR law & underscores that protests must take place in a peaceful manner, respecting life, property and the rule of law, and calls for dialogue towards forging a constructive path forward" Protests

Ukraine has been defending democracy for more than three years. Without democracy every abuse of power is possible. Ukraine’s fight for democracy and @TransparencyUA ‘s fight against corruption pursue the same goals. 👇
Today we honor #UkrainianDefendersDay 💙💛 Our peace is safeguarded by those who bravely stood up for their country and for each of us. We thank our defenders for their courage, resilience, and sacrifice 💔

For the first time in the history of the French republic since 1870 a former head of state will be jailed. Dealing through secret meetings with a foreign chief terrorist (Gaddafi’s brother-in-law) prosecuted in France now has a name under French law: it is criminal conspiracy.👇
🔴 Nicolas Sarkozy, former president of France, has received a five-year jail sentence after being convicted of criminal conspiracy. The case involves millions of euros in illegal funds from the late Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi, and exposes urgent gaps in political finance

Opaque public debt is public money created to be stolen. Citizens have the right to know how much is borrowed by their governments, under which conditions and for what purpose. Public money is the public’s money. 👇
Public loans should benefit the public. However, weak oversight and opaque contracts often mean private gains at citizens’ expense. Our new paper shows how corruption affects every stage of debt. Read more ⬇️

Over the last thirty years most governments have performed relatively well in adopting anti-corruption laws and creating anti-corruption bodies. But now all that have to work, with staffed and resourced bodies that enforce the law without political interference. 👇

There are physics of dirty money. Corrupt individuals love countries with weaker institutions to steal their money from and countries with stronger institutions to invest their money in. They deprive people from basic services in the ones and inflate prices in the others. 👇
Even countries that top the CPI rankings aren’t immune to corruption. Financial hubs in high-scoring nations are still used to launder & hide illicit wealth. #CPI2024

Abusive and opaque lobbying in #COP negotiations simply is diplomacy capture to the detriment of the planet. 👇
This week, we wrote to national delegations attending #COP30, urging them to adopt a new integrity pledge designed to limit fossil fuel influence on climate talks. Read more: https://t.co/WTWHs4trV1

The global anti-NGO narrative forgets three things: NGOs simply are citizens’ associations with a huge diversity in every country and globally; NGOs have no executive or parliamentary power; and most importantly : without citizens’ associations power solely is abuse of power. 👇

Corruption makes innumerable victims and civil society organizations have a right to stand up for them. In Peru, where this right has just been legally recognized, and everywhere. 👇

The sanctions on three Palestinian NGOs are part of a broader offensive against @IntlCrimCourt and all those working with it. Without the International Criminal Court and multilateralism our world would be still far more violent, with much more abuse of power and corruption 👇
The U.S. administration’s decision to impose sanctions on 3 Palestinian institutions contributes to the unrelenting impunity of the occupation for its crimes @AlMezanCenter @pchrgaza @alhaq_org 📌Details: https://t.co/tfjcpfTnY8

Tens, hundreds of billions of dollars stolen by political leaders from the people they boasted of defending against all odds. And it has already lasted for more than 25 years. Thank you @soymerchy , @NoMasGuiso and #Venezuela ‘s civil society for your courage. 👇

Corrupt money stolen in a country and invested in another one does not benefit the receiving country either. It inflates prices, harms the economy and does not create any value. 👇
