CORRUPTION – A MAJOR THREAT TO NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY

Abstract

This article attempts to find corruption as a major threat to democracy, the rule of law, social equity and justice, undermines the principles of effective administration and the credibility of citizens in state institutions, and endangers the market economy and the stability of state institutions. Corruption is a global security problem, regarded as a major problem for a long time, but recognized as a first-degree challenge to international security only recently to loudly state at present that corruption is a gross violation of fundamental human rights. Developing a common policy concept of security and defense at international level to optimize the fight against corruption aims at creating common databases and an institutionalized system of contacts to improve and develop a new dimension of collaboration within multinational coalitions; reforming sector services by institutional depolarization; development and implementation of a modern concept of reform; implementation of legislative and institutional changes, improving staff management and training in accordance with international standards
