2006/6. Corruption and its impact on the full enjoyment of human rights,
in particular economic, social and cultural rights
The Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights,
Bearing in mind General Assembly resolution 60/251 of 15 March 2006, and in particular
its paragraph 6,
Recalling Human Rights Council decision 1/102 of 30 June 2006 in which the Council
decided to extend exceptionally for one year the mandate of the Sub-Commission, among other
mandates, mechanisms, functions and responsibilities of the Commission on Human Rights,
Deeply concerned that the enjoyment of human rights, be they economic, social and
cultural or civil and political, is seriously undermined by the phenomenon of corruption,
Taking account of standards adopted against corruption at the national, regional and
international levels, in particular the United Nations Convention against Corruption adopted
by the General Assembly by its resolution 58/4 of 31 October 2003, which entered into force
on 14 December 2005,
Convinced that corruption has become a major international concern, taking many forms,
from routine cases of bribery or petty abuse of power to the amassing of personal wealth through
embezzlement or other dishonest means,
Taking into account the second progress report (A/HRC/Sub.1/58/CRP.10), submitted
by the Special Rapporteur, Christy Mbonu,
1.
Expresses its warm appreciation to the Special Rapporteur for her second
progress report containing a detailed questionnaire on the fight against corruption to be
transmitted to Member States of the United Nations and other stakeholders, including the
