[01] Attorney General: Cyprus is ready and willing to continue actively to participate in the universal battle against corruption

“Corruption has existed since antiquity as one of the worst and most widespread forms of behavior, which is inimical to the administration of public affairs when indulged in by public officials, elected representatives and members of the judiciary,” the Attorney General of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr Solon Nikitas, has stated. <o:p> </o:p> Addressing the High Level Political Conference for the Signature of the United Nations/ Convention against Corruption in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country- region><st1:place>Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region> on <st1:date Month="12" Day="10" Year="2003">Wednesday 10 December 2003</st1:date>, the Attorney General pointed out that today corruption is recognized as a global and systemic threat which affects both the public and private sectors. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> “Corruption of any kind at any level of society seriously undermines the basic values and principles on which democratic societies are founded.
