International Day Against Corruption: Special Report

"Young people denied all-empowering education, women excluded from life-saving surgery and workers prevented from working are just some of corruption's unwitting victims." So writes the UN Office on Drugs and Crime on this year's International Day Against Corruption, December 9. "Corruption has a catastrophic impact on societies; it stifles opportunities, denying vulnerable people access to infrastructure, and condemns them to lives of inequality and inequity. If people are to be removed from poverty and economic growth promoted, the world must stand united against corruption." In this special report, teleSUR explores how the issue impacts Latin America and beyond.
