Knowledge Partner Session 14 : Promoting access to justice in support of accountability for corruption
Mar 27, 2026 | 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Auditorium
Description
Organised by Transparency International
A key component of corruption accountability consists in providing those harmed with the opportunity to obtain redress. This is recognised in international and regional anti-corruption and human rights instruments, as well as in some national frameworks. Yet too often, the barriers to remediation mean that injured individuals and groups are left without recourse. This session will consider remediation in the context of foreign bribery enforcement, examining some good practice examples, some suggested principles and some innovative proposals. The critical role that civil society organisations can play as representatives of those harmed will be highlighted, together with other insights from three recent UN and civil society publications.
