dc.description.abstract | Corruption and its impact on human rights have gained significant attention from the academic community in recent decades. Despite increased academic interest, the topic remains understudied. The research aims to determine the factors that justify recognizing freedom from corruption as a human right and how this recognition influences the handling of corruption-related crimes in international human rights and international criminal law. The paper explores the unique characteristics of corruption that warrant the establishment of a new human right, assesses opportunities within the existing international legal framework to address corruption as a human rights issue, and investigates prosecution possibilities for grand corruption under the Rome Statute. By synthesising existing knowledge and research, this paper contributes to the ongoing efforts to combat corruption and protect human rights. Ultimately, the paper emphasises the need for a comprehensive approach to combat corruption as an international crime that undermines fundamental rights and human values. | en_US |
