The establishment and operation of an effective intergovernmental process for the review of the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption are in many ways a significant achievement. The Mechanism for the Review of Implementation of the Convention constitutes a remarkable demonstration of the commitment of States parties to effectively preventing and combating corruption at the global level, and a demonstration of their determination to avoid the Convention being simply symbolic. It is an acknowledgement of the paramount importance of ensuring appropriate follow-up to international legal instruments, even when they are as broad and universal in scope as the Convention against Corruption. Furthermore, it offers the opportunity to collect, systematize and disseminate an unprecedented wealth of information that is useful for furthering the goals of the Convention, drawing on the experiences gathered and lessons learned by States with different legal traditions and varied levels of economic and institutional development, from every region in the world.
