Key points

Corruption is recognized as a fundamental obstacle to the enjoyment of all human rights and must be addressed through a human-rights-based approach.
The EU should develop a comprehensive global anti-corruption strategy that includes prevention, awareness campaigns, and increased funding.
Transparency is essential, requiring the lifting of excessive professional secrecy in the financial sector and a zero-tolerance policy toward tax havens.
Efforts must be made to freeze and confiscate stolen assets and ensure they are returned transparently to the victims and countries of origin.
