Abstract
Nowadays corruption is one of the most actual global problems. International cooperation in this sphere can increase efficiency of the struggle against corruption globally. There are many international organizations (including OECD, GRECO, World Bank, etc.), which pay sufficient attention to anti-corruption struggle. However, legal mechanisms often govern the process of anti-corruption struggle ambiguously. The article analyses functioning and cooperation of international worldwide organizations in the struggle against corruption.
The authors review the system of international anti-corruption organizations and perspectives of modern international legal cooperation in this field. The article examines practical activity of the organizations and their current documents, initiatives and programs. Regional peculiarities of anti-corruption struggle are highlighted as well. The necessity to develop and strengthen cooperation between all states in anti-corruption struggle throughout the world is emphasized in the article. The authors conclude that the current stage of global struggle against corruption does not embrace all possible ways and in the nearest future the international community is to develop international legal anti-corruption instruments.
