India elected to GlobE Network steering committee

Context

India has been elected to the fifteen-member steering committee of the GlobE Network following a multi-stage voting process during a plenary session in Beijing.

What is GlobE Network?

The Global Operational Network of Anti-Corruption Law Enforcement Authorities (GlobE Network) is an initiative launched under the G20 framework to address international corruption and financial crime.
India’s election to the steering committee will allow it to actively contribute to global efforts in combating corruption and facilitating asset recovery.
The GlobE Network provides a platform for international cooperation, enhancing the ability of member countries to address cross-border corruption and financial crime.
- India has been a supporter of this initiative since 2020, with the network officially launched on June 3, 2021, during a UN General Assembly Special Session against Corruption (UNGASS).
The network enables global agencies to exchange best practices, share criminal intelligence, and devise strategies to combat corruption.
It is led by a chair, vice-chair, and thirteen committee members who provide guidance to the organization.
Today, the GlobE Network includes 121 member countries and 219 member authorities.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) serves as the Central Authority for GlobE Network in India, while the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED) represent India as member authorities.
During India’s G20 Presidency in 2023, two key principles for combating corruption were adopted, focusing on the use of the GlobE Network to further global anti-corruption efforts.

Prevention of Corruption Act 1988: The Act was amended in 2018 to criminalize bribery and impose vicarious liability on senior management in organizations, targeting high-level corruption.
Central Vigilance Commission: The CVC has recommended adopting Integrity Pacts in major procurement to ensure integrity and prompt investigations of misconduct.
Lokpal: The Lokpal has been established to directly handle complaints against public servants, enhancing accountability under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
