| description | Corruption harms communities and
impacts the global economy. It discourages business
opportunities, hinders foreign aid and investment, and
exacerbates inequality. It victimizes society’s most
vulnerable and marginalized individuals by affecting their
ability to meet their basic needs, as well as reducing their
chances of overcoming poverty and exclusion. As such,
anti-corruption efforts would be incomplete if damages
arising from corrupt acts remain unaddressed. This
publication aims at stimulating further research and
exchange on the matter by providing an overview of the
current state of law and practice regarding the recovery of
corruption damages; outlining the different types of legal
frameworks and avenues available in different legal systems;
and the respective legal barriers and other challenges that
may arise. |
