13-14 July – IS FREEDOM FROM CORRUPTION A HUMAN RIGHT?
IS FREEDOM FROM CORRUPTION A HUMAN RIGHT?
National Law University in Jodhpur, India.
American Society of International Law’s Anti-Corruption Law Interest Group.
July 13-14, 2017 in Jodhpur.
This workshop will explore both theoretically and practically the increasing tendency to locate the anti-corruption movement within a human rights framework. Questions in the workshop include, but are not limited to:
Is it conceptually coherent, and strategically valuable, to frame corruption as a human rights violation?
Would recognizing corruption as a free-standing rights violation create new legal remedies for corruption’s victims?
How are organizations, either public or private, now treating corruption as a de facto rights violation?
How does the corruption and human rights movement dovetail with the movement to impose human rights liabilities on companies?
