This Policy Guide: Systemic Integration of Human Rights in Anti-Corruption Frameworks, developed by the Human Rights & Corruption Working Group together with the Cyrus R. Vance International Center for Justice, outlines a robust legal basis for linking anti-corruption and human rights.

Integrating human rights into the anti-corruption agenda is a practical, feasible pathway to strengthen accountability, address impunity, and protect those most at risk.

Using a human rights lens to understand the consequences of corruption exposes the real and often devastating impact on people’s lives, especially those most vulnerable to abuse of power. This approach not only strengthens prevention and accountability but also ensures that efforts remain people-centred.
