Let’s end impunity for grand corruption
Strong
Anti-Corruption Laws
We work towards the adoption of a multilateral anti-corruption Treaty and the establishment of an international court that offers effective prosecution of corrupt leaders and co-conspirators.
Effective Law Enforcement
We seek to ensure that the prosecutors of the International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC) regularly investigate and prosecute cases of grand corruption. Where possible, they should work in close collaboration with national agencies, courts and civil society.
Recovery and Repurposing of Stolen Assets
We seek to ensure that assets stolen by corrupt leaders are seized, recovered and repurposed, if appropriate, to benefit victims of grand corruption.
Societal Awareness
We generate broad, global recognition of the importance of strong anti-corruption laws, the role of an international court, and the effective law enforcement it provides.
“Without strong watchdog institutions, impunity becomes the very foundation upon which systems of corruption are built.“

- The Victims of Corruption: Corruption and Human Trafficking
Corruption is too often described as a victimless crime. The US recently paused the enforcement of impactful foreign anti-bribery laws in the name of economic progress. This has reinforced the false perception that corruption, particularly bribery, causes no real harm. In reality, corruption enables some of the world’s most serious human rights violations—including human trafficking. - Thank You to Our Outgoing Chair, Ben Knapen
