Grand corruption – th e abuse of public office for private gain – is a contributor to some of th e world’s most serious human rights concerns. Refugees are fleeing failed states because of corruption\, corrupt government leaders (kleptocrats) ar e enriching themselves while their citizens die of hunger\, lack of health care\, and the effects of climate change. \n\n\n\n Investigative journalist s play an important role in the fight against corruption. From the Panama Papers\, to the Luanda Leaks\, to the recent FinCEN Files\, the Internatio nal Consortium of Investigative Journalists has exposed the devastating co nsequences of corruption. Currently\, billions of funds meant to combat th e COVID-19 pandemic are being stolen by elite kleptocrats around the globe .\n\n\n\n Despite the evidence generated by investigative journalists and o thers\, Kleptocrats are rarely prosecuted because they control the police\ , the prosecutors\, and the courts in the countries they rule. A new\, int ernational mechanism is needed to address this impunity. The world needs a n International Anti-Corruption Court to prosecute kleptocrats and bring j ustice to the victims of grand corruption. \n\n\n\n Panelists: \;\n\n\n \n \n Judge Mark Wolf | \;Chair\, Integrity Initiatives International\; Senior Fellow\, Carr Center\n \n \n Slagjana Taseva | \;Chair\, Transpare ncy International Macedonia\n \n \n Will Fitzgibbon | Senior ICIJ reporter&nb sp\;\n \n \n Sushma Raman (Moderator) | Executive Director\, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy \;\n \n\n\n\n Judge Mark Wolf was appointed to the U .S.
