Jonathan Fanton will discuss the initiatives to create the International Anti-Corruption Court, its mandate and goals, and challenges related to the Court’s functioning. Following Dr. Fanton’s remarks, Judge Mark L. Wolf will join us remotely for a Q&A session. Judge Wolf is the Chair of Integrity Initiatives International, an international network of individuals and organizations working on the International Anti-Corruption Court. Judge Wolf has been a champion of anti-corruption measures for many decades. 

Grand corruption does not endure due to a lack of laws. Each of the 189 signatories of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) has laws criminalizing major forms of corrupt conduct. Yet kleptocrats enjoy impunity because they control the administration of justice in their countries. An International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC) would fill the crucial enforcement gap in the international framework for combatting grand corruption.
