Context in which this group operates
Human rights and anti-corruption work are deeply interconnected, yet the two fields have often operated in silos, with limited collaboration between civil society, academics, and institutions working on each. This disconnect weakens efforts to address corruption as a driver of human rights violations, and limits the use of human rights mechanisms and anti-corruption tools in a complementary way.
The Human Rights and Corruption Working Group brings together civil society, academics, and institutions to bridge this gap, advancing a victims-centred approach that recognizes corruption’s impact on human rights and strengthens the tools available to address both.
Objectives
The objectives of the Human Rights and Corruption Working Group are to:
- Break down silos between human rights and anti-corruption civil society, academics, and institutions
- Provide updates on policy developments in anti-corruption and human rights
- Advance anti-corruption efforts with a victims-centred approach
- Empower anti-corruption civil society with the tools to use human rights mechanisms, and vice versa
- Increase the prevention and recognition of corruption as a human rights violation
- Advocate for changes in international law, policy, and practice
