The Iraqi government's efforts have received widespread international praise following serious and diligent steps taken in combating corruption and pursuing the recovery of looted assets. Officials from the United Nations Development Programme confirmed that Iraq has made notable progress in
global corruption perception indicators over the last decade, resulting from ongoing cooperation and the drafting of core legal reforms to enhance integrity. The UN emphasized the importance of continuing this governmental approach to narrow procedural gaps in civil lawsuits, noting
that fighting corruption is a fundamental pillar for improving public services, attracting investments, and driving sustainable development. It also warned against the heavy global economic repercussions caused by the squandering of public resources.
