More than 6 billion people live in countries where serious levels of public sector corruption are fueling inequality and exploitation, according to Transparency International's 2015 index of perceived public sector corruption. The group's annual report measures perceptions of corruption due to the secrecy surrounding most corrupt dealings. Two thirds of the 168 countries assessed were identified as having a serious corruption problem. Somalia, which has been mired in conflict since civil war broke out in 1991, ranks bottom of the list.

Last year a record 1 million people made the Mediterranean Sea crossing, five times more than in 2014. During the year, the International Organization for Migration estimates that 805 died in the eastern Mediterranean and 2,892 died in the central Mediterranean. Human brokers play the central role in many migrants' journeys. Like the thousands of Central Americans who pour into the United States, or the Rohingya Burmese who flood into Thailand and Malaysia, illegal travelers worldwide depend on an industry run by networks of individual criminal entrepreneurs. Syrians desperate to leave their homeland after years of civil war are forced to pay hefty bribes at armed checkpoints proliferating along Syria's borders, or to smugglers, according to the United Nations. Europol, Europe's police agency, says people-smuggling may have generated between $3 billion and $6 billion last year. Most of the money for passage is raised and transferred by migrants' and refugees' relatives around the world. (Photo by Yannis Behrakis/Reuters)
The 2007 presidential vote in Kenya, when incumbent President Mwai Kibaki was declared victor, erupted into bloodletting that drove 350,000 people from their homes. It was disputed by opponents. More than 1,200 people were slaughtered, many butchered by machete, burnt alive or shot with bows and arrows as the country's biggest tribes turned on one another. Previous votes in Kenya have also been dogged by “ghost” voters, stuffed ballot boxes and rigging at the final tally. As well as tribal friction, corruption is frequently a factor in conflict – although this has decreased since 2010, according to a Transparency International survey. In 2010, 45% of Kenyans reported paying a bribe, the survey showed. (Photo by Radu Sigheti/Reuters)
