Grand corruption is flourishing despite numerous laws which would curb it. The 187 countries that are party to the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (“UNCAC”) each have laws criminalizing corrupt conduct. Yet, kleptocrats enjoy impunity because they control the administration of justice in the countries that they rule. Integrity Initiatives International (III) proposed to establish an International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC). Many praiseworthy leaders strongly endorse the initiative, and the Global Governance Forum supports the idea.

This briefing focuses on the need for an International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC) and how it can transition from a novel idea to an established feature of our global governance framework.

Moderator: Augusto Lopez-Claros, Chairman of the Global Governance Forum

Guest Speakers:

• Judge Richard Goldstone, Former Justice of the South African Constitutional Court and former chief prosecutor of the UN Intl. Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.
