Corruption poses a significant threat to democratic governance by weakening accountability, transparency, public trust, and institutional integrity. This study examines the role of anti-corruption law in strengthening democratic governance through a normative juridical method and doctrinal analysis of the United Nations Convention against Corruption Law Number 7 of 2006 and the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime Law Number 5 of 2009. The findings show that anti-corruption law supports democratic governance by promoting accountability, transparency, public integrity, and effective institutional oversight. The study also finds that United Nations Convention against Corruption and the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime provide important international standards for corruption prevention and international cooperation. However, political corruption, state capture, and implementation challenges continue to affect governance effectiveness. The study concludes that strengthening anti-corruption frameworks remains essential for protecting democratic institutions and maintaining public trust.
