International Anti-Corruption Day
2014 Theme: Break the corruption chain
Corruption is a complex social, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries. Corruption undermines democratic institutions, slows economic development and contributes to governmental instability. Corruption attacks the foundation of democratic institutions by distorting electoral processes, perverting the rule of law and creating bureaucratic quagmires whose only reason for existing is the soliciting of bribes. Economic development is stunted because foreign direct investment is discouraged and small businesses within the country often find it impossible to overcome the "start-up costs" required because of corruption.
On 31 October 2003, the General Assembly adopted the United Nations Convention against Corruption and requested that the Secretary-General designate the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) as secretariat for the Convention’s Conference of States Parties (resolution 58/4).
The Assembly also designated 9 December as International Anti-Corruption Day, to raise awareness of corruption and of the role of the Convention in combating and preventing it. The Convention entered into force in December 2005.

The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, 2 December
ENGLISH
The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, 2 December, marks the date of the adoption, by the General Assembly, of the United Nations Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others (resolution 317(IV) of 2 December 1949).
The focus of this day is on eradicating contemporary forms of slavery, such as trafficking in persons, sexual exploitation, the worst forms of child labour, forced marriage, and the forced recruitment of children for use in armed conflict.
Today, 21 million women, men and children are trapped in slavery all over the world. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has teamed up with prominent artists, athletes and advocates in its new campaign to End Slavery Now.
In 2007 the UN marked the 200th Anniversary of the Abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade on 25 March. In 2008 the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Tradebecame an annual observance.

ATM Libraries - China
ATM libraries promote China's reading habits
Beijing
has recently seen an increasing number of so-called ATM libraries -- the
24-hour self-service machines which allow people to borrow and return books
without the help of librarians. Anyone who wants to borrow books from the ATM
library only needs to swipe their second-generation Identity Card and put down
100 yuan in cash deposit collateral. They can borrow a maximum of five books
each time and return these four weeks later or extend the borrowing period by
two weeks. The ATM Library The first two ATM libraries were introduced to Beijing from Shenzhen,
Guangdong Province, in 2010. They
were launched at the western and northern sides of the Capital Library of China
in east Beijing's
Chaoyang District.
The number of these facilities in Chaoyang has since been
growing quickly. Thus far, the district has launched 119 ATM libraries across
43 communities. "The machines, a major breakthrough in terms of time and
space limitations, turned out to be more efficient and convenient [compared to
the traditional libraries]," said Song Wei, deputy director of Chaoyang
Library. By July 2013, the ATM libraries in the district have received more
than 10,800 visits for registration. The district plans to increase their
number to a total of 150 in the future. These ATM libraries are not merely
book-lending facilities, they can also help librarians collect and categorize
reader information. "From these roadside ATM libraries, we have found that
literary and sociological books are the mostpopular among our readers,"
said Wang Qi, an official with the publicity department of the Capital Library
of China. Wang's conclusion was echoed by a reader who happened to apply for a
registration card to borrow the books from the ATM library for the first time.
"I have an immense interest in sociological books. I am fascinated by the
books as long as they are understandable." the borrower Li Liying said.
The automation of libraries composes only one step in the long-term program for
the libraries to cultivate reading habits among readers. According to a report
drafted by China Youth Daily, a Chinese newspaper, the average Chinese read
only 4.39 paper books in 2012, a number ranking far below that of South Korea and Japan. Several reasons lie at the
core of these low reading rates. In addition to the overall demise of the print
media, the general format of the books also contributes to people not reading
as much. "In Japan,
people can find many portable books, say pocket books [to be read on the go],
however in China
those books are rare," Wang explained. According to her, people in Beijing are spending an
increasing amount of time commuting between work and home; this time period
would be a suitable occasion for them to get in some reading. However, this
habit cannot be shaped in one day. "It will take a long time for any
investments in culture to yield their fruits. The cultivation [of people's
reading habits] is a process that may take two, five or even 10 years to be
completed," Song said.
