Harvard Carr Center for Human Rights Policy: Kleptocrats, Coronavirus, & How to Combat Them

The panelists will discuss the immediate need to enhance transparency and accountability with existing resources, and the ultimate need for an International Anti-Corruption Court to punish and deter the shameless kleptocrats that the pandemic will eventually expose.
