Corruption is one of the greast problems problems facing developing the countries all over the world. From a human rights
perspective, corruption is one of the greatest obstacles in fulfilling a state's obligation to protect and promote human
rights. Corrupt political systems deny the fundamental right to democratic participation. Corrupt judicial systems not only
violate the basic right to equality before the law but deny procedural rights guaranteed by international hr
conventions. Corruption in public administration endangers the right to life, as when it causes funds to be diverted from
medical care to private pockets or when it allows for the manufacture of defective and dangerous products or buildings.
Generalized corruption, specially at the higher levels, rob a people of their wealth and leads to grave violations to
economic rights, it destroyes economies and condemns peoples to unemployment and hunger. It also leads to social unrest,
which can sometimes turn violent.
