Victims of Corruption

International Database: Corruption Damage Reparation and Legal Standing for
Victims of Corruption


The Working Group on Victims of Corruption has launched an international database of frameworks and practices in different countries on whether victims of corruption are recognized and/or compensated. The collected examples and findings are shared, published, and used to advance discussions, inform national and global advocacy efforts, and support evidence-based advocacy for the scaling of good practices. We hope this tool will be a useful resource.

Please contact us at victimsdatabase@uncaccoalition.org to receive a questionnaire with asks about examples from the country you operate in. In case you know of cases or practices from other countries that we may not be aware of, please include these as well. Always indicate the original source or basis for your information so that it can be verified. You may also answer the questionnaire in your mother tongue if this is easier for you.
