Nations Convention against Corruption</a>, also called the “Implementation Review Mechanism” or “IRM” is a peer review process that assists States parties to effectively implement the Convention.</p> <p>The Implementation Review Mechanism operates under the guidance and oversight of the Implementation Review Group. The Group serves as a subsidiary body of the <a href="/corruption/en/cosp/index.html">Conference of the States Parties to the Convention</a> and is comprised of all States parties.</p> <p>UNODC acts as the secretariat of the Implementation Review Mechanism. UNODC facilitates the peer reviews which are a useful tool for assessing and improving national anti-corruption frameworks. UNODC trains focal points and governmental experts from States parties, supports the country reviews, and generates thematic reports on implementation trends and associated technical assistance needs.</p> <p>The Implementation Review Mechanism has broken new ground in efforts to tackle corruption. Since its inception, States have learned from and helped each other to strengthen their anti-corruption frameworks, sharing good practices to promote whistle-blower protection, recover stolen assets, prevent money-laundering, and engage the private sector and civil society in anti-corruption efforts. The Review Mechanism has changed the landscape of anti-corruption efforts providing policymakers and practitioners with the tools to counter corruption in support of global efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.</p></div> </div> </div><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row marginTop60 marginBottom45"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <div class="card card-block card-std dropShadow roundedCorners stickerCard interventionsCard " style="background-color:white;color:#064188;height:auto"> <div class=" card-body" style="overflow:hidden"> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <h4 class="site-heading">The goals of the IRM</h4> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row my-0 py-0 marginTop22"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"><ul> <li><span style="color: #000000;">Promote and facilitate the exchange of information, practices and experiences gained in the implementation of the Convention;</span></li> <li><span style="color: #000000;">Promote and facilitate international cooperation in the prevention of and the fight against corruption, including in the area of asset recovery; and</span></li> <li><span style="color: #000000;">Help States parties to identify and substantiate specific needs for technical assistance and to promote and facilitate the provision of technical assistance.</span></li> </ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row my-0 py-0 marginTop30 marginBottom30"></div> </div><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row marginTop60 marginBottom45"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <div class="card card-block card-std roundedCorners stickerCard mandatesCard " style="background-color:#E6EBF2;color:#064188;height:auto"> <div class=" card-body" style="overflow:hidden"> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <h4 class="site-heading">Guiding principles</h4> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row my-0 py-0 marginTop22"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"><ul> <li><span style="color: #000000;">Assist States in effectively implementing the Convention;</span></li> <li><span style="color: #000000;">Provide opportunities to share good practices and challenges;</span></li> <li><span style="color: #000000;">Transparent, efficient, non-intrusive, inclusive and impartial;</span></li> <li><span style="color: #000000;">Non-adversarial and non-punitive, without any form of ranking;</span></li> <li><span style="color: #000000;">Technical, intergovernmental nature; and</span></li> <li><span style="color: #000000;">Complement existing review mechanisms.</span></li> </ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row my-0 py-0 heading-rows marginTop60 marginBottom45"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"> <h3 class="site-heading">How does the Implementation Review Mechanism and the review process work?</h3> </div> </div> </div><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row my-0 py-0 marginBottom60"> <div style="" class=" col-lg-12"><p>In accordance with the <a href="https://www.unodc.org/documents/treaties/UNCAC/Publications/ReviewMechanism-BasicDocuments/Mechanism_for_the_Review_of_Implementation_-_Basic_Documents_-_E.pdf">Terms of Reference of the Mechanism</a>, each party undergoes a review process conducted by two peers, one of which must be from the same regional group, to assess their level of implementation of the Convention.</p> <p>The Implementation Review Mechanism is structured into phases.
