Cheyanne Scharbatke-Church joins an expert panel of members of the Canadian government delegation and Canadian civil society who attended the CoSP11 to discuss key insights in the Canada at the CoSP Webinar.
As the only legally binding piece of international law on corruption, the UNCAC sets global standards that guide governments and stakeholders. This means global anti-corruption decisions don’t stay overseas—they directly influence how Canada acts at home.
The Canada at the CoSP webinar explores the outcomes of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) 2025 Conference of State Parties (CoSP11) that are shaping Canada’s anti-corruption landscape.
Members of the Canadian government delegation and Canadian civil society in attendance at CoSP11 highlight issues that matter to Canadians: how the international environment shaped decisions, why gaps remain in the Resolutions, and opportunities for civic society and government to act.

Angela Veitch, Deputy Permanent Representative of Canada to International Organizations in Vienna
