Colombiacall for the establishment of an International
Anti-Corruption Court.
Read our full Declaration
What is the IACC
Grand corruption – the abuse of public office for private gain by a nation's leaders (kleptocrats) – is a devastating global problem. In too many places, there is a lack of enforcement of criminal laws against corrupt acts. The IACC would be a court of last resort to hold kleptocrats and their co-conspirators accountable when national governments are unable or unwilling to do so.
How we work
A growing coalition of governments, civil society organizations, and individual citizens are working together to make the IACC a reality. Leading experts in international law are developing a proposed treaty to establish the IACC. The evolving concept of the Court benefits from the diverse input of the global network of civil society that advocates for the idea.
