Аннотация: Corruption as a global challenge has been a concern for academia and international organizations the United Nations, European Council, Commonwealth of Independent States, etc. Beginning with the second half of the 20th century, special anticorruption resolutions were adopted, states concluded conventions specifying the major approaПоказать полностьюches to the concept of corruption. The study of the provisions of international legal acts shows that international community has not developed a single definition for corruption. On the basis of legal definitions of corruption, lists of corruption acts in context of the provisions of the most significant international legal acts which created the basis of interpreting corruption, an attempt has been made to draw up a list and content of the material signs of the social and legal phenomenon. As significant signs of corruption, the author identifies the common hazard, sphere of existence, object matter of corruption, subjects, corruption of service (official) powers and administrative status. The specified signs are conditioned with a narrow or wide approach to understanding this social law phenomenon. Settling this sign of corruption as a common hazard is typical of the international documents of the Council of Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States. As to the UN documents, this sign is stipulated only in the United Nations Convention against Corruption (2003). As the domain of corruption, international acts stipulate private and public sector. The subject matter of corruption is various benefits of property and non-property nature. The author shows the trend of transition from narrow to a wider interpretation of corruption by including besides bribery and graft various abuses of official position for lucrative purposes or due to personal interest as well as widening the list of the subjects of corruption.
