The Conference of the States Parties (CoSP) is the main decision-making body of the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). All states that have ratified the UNCAC are automatically part of the Conference of the States Parties. Other states (signatories and non-signatories), intergovernmental organizations and nongovernmental organizations can apply for observer status at CoSP sessions. The CoSP convenes every two years and adopts resolutions and decisions aimed at building States Parties’ capacity, enhancing their cooperation to achieve the Convention’s objectives, as well as promoting and reviewing its implementation. It operates under the Rules of Procedure adopted by the Conference. The Conference has created subsidiary bodies, operating under its mandate, to assist in carrying out its work. They are meant to advise the Conference and make recommendations to help deliver its mandate.
