Transparency International UK are part of a coalition of British NGOs who witness the devastating effects of corruption on society. Together, we are calling on all political parties to join the fight against corruption and commit to taking bold steps to end corruption in the UK and overseas. We have set out the steps that need to be taken in this manifesto.
Preventing corrupt money from being laundered into the UK must remain a key concern for the next government, particularly as it navigates a complicated Brexit process. Strong standards that are upheld through EU money laundering directives must be mirrored in domestic legislation. As the UK orientates to different priority markets for international trade, it has the opportunity to pursue inclusion of world-class anti-corruption provisions in any new trade agreements.
“Fighting Corruption” calls on all parties and candidates in the forthcoming election to join the fight against corruption for a more secure, prosperous and resilient UK.
