Administrative and financial corruption between criminalization and combating in Libyan legislation

Abstract

This research paper examines the phenomenon of administrative and financial corruption, an age-old issue that affects all countries and has played a significant role in the downfall of states and empires. The paper aims to highlight corruption as a global crime with detrimental effects on Libya, discuss the dangers of administrative and financial corruption by identifying its causes, types, and effects on society, and review the measures taken by the Libyan legislator to criminalize and combat it, with the hope of curbing its spread. The research concludes that criminalizing administrative and financial corruption and imposing strict penalties are not enough to address these crimes. The fight against domestic corruption must be reinforced through bilateral and multilateral international treaties, the development of global strategies to combat corruption, enhanced cooperation, and the adoption of successful international practices. The impact of corruption extends beyond national borders, making it a global issue that requires a coordinated response.
