Description
Corruption is an entrenched problem in many countries, including Afghanistan, where its presence is a great obstacle to progress and development.
In this seminar, a former judge from the Anti-Corruption Justice Centre in Afghanistan will describe the Centre’s composition, challenges, case law examples, and its role in combating corruption in the nation. Anti-Corruption initiatives under the Republic and the current Taliban de facto government will be compared, with a focus on significant distinctions in the legal framework and transparency.
