Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda submitted the instrument to the UN early this week, Desra Percaya said in New York on Friday. "Corruption is an extraordinary transnational crime so that we need international cooperation to fight it," Desra said. The UN Convention began to take effect on December 14, 2005 after 30 countries had submitted instruments to ratify it, he said. Indonesia is the 65th country to submit such an instrument. Under Law No.7/2006, the Indonesian government had ratified the convention, he said. Wirajuda told reporters in Jakarta before leaving for New York some time ago that corruption was not only national but also global issues. Even the UN General Assembly sessions between 2002 and 2003 focused on fighting corruption. After lengthy negotiations, 128 UN members including Indonesia adopted the Convention Against Corruption on October 31, 2003, he said. On a regional scale, concrete actions against corruption became a central topic of discussion at the APEC Summit in Santiago, Chile, in 2004, and in Busan, South Korea, in 2005, he said. "This convention is designed to enhance international cooperation in chasing and arresting corruptors and seizing and returning their ill-gotten wealth to their countries of origin," he said.
