Fighting corruption is particularly important in countries recovering from conflict, where scarce resources need to be directed to those in need, rather than being diverted to those in power, Mirella Dummar-Frahi, from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), said in an interview with UN News.

Speaking to Conor Lennon from UN News, at the UN Civil Society Conference, in Salt Lake City, USA, Ms. Dummar-Frahi, who runs the Civil Society Partnership Team at UNODC, said that, in these countries, corruption can be a driver of conflict.
