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 re-conceptualisation 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”.
