The International Council is delighted to announce the rerelease of its groundbreaking report, Corruption and Human Rights: Making the Connection, in a joint endeavour with Transparency International. The report was initially launched in February 2009 and has been well received by civil society organisations, human rights advocates, anti-corruption campaigners, governments and private enterprise alike.
With the involvement of Transparency International, it will now form part of the resources available to the global network of more than 90 established Transparency International national chapters and chapters-in-formation.
Managing Director of Transparency International, Cobus de Swardt, praised the report as an important reconceptualisation of the connection between corruption and human rights. He remarked that “for too long the anti-corruption and human rights movements have been working in parallel rather than tackling these problems together. Through this first and innovative report on human rights and corruption, the ICHRP has provided an important conceptual basis for aligning the work of both movements”.
Council Research Director Magdalena Sepúlveda Carmona, who directed the publication of the report, also welcomed the participation of Transparency International in the rerelease of the report, saying “Transparency International is universally regarded as the leading civil society organisation within the anti-corruption movement. We hope that this jointly released report will become an important and useful resource for TI chapters across the globe”.
Please see the Council's website for more background on the project.
The full report, available in English, can be downloaded free of charge (in PDF format). A copy of the report can also be ordered electronically through the Council’s website.
