Featured Writing About the IACC

At present, there is no international institution to hold kleptocrats accountable for their crimes of corruption when the countries they rule are unwilling or unable to do so. An IACC would, therefore, fill the crucial enforcement gap in the international framework for combatting grand corruption. It would constitute a fair and effective forum for the prosecution and punishment of kleptocrats and their collaborators; deter others tempted to emulate their example; and recover, repatriate, and repurpose ill-gotten gains for the victims of grand corruption.
— III Chair Judge Mark L. Wolf and Vice-Chairs Justice Richard Goldstone and Prof. Robert Rotberg in a publication for the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.
