Rule of law: corruption in the judiciary/politics

Thursday 4 May (0910 - 1050)

Description

The World Justice Project’s Rule of Law Index 2022 indicates that the rule of law has declined globally for the fifth year in a row. Media headlines around the world suggest that corruption and criminality is a common issue in judicial systems and governments. This panel will explore how corruption and criminality occurs in politics and the courts in different jurisdictions. We will ask what impact it has on the rule of law and consider what steps can be taken to improve the position.
