This online Hernan Santa Cruz dialogue – co-organized by our Geneva Human Rights Platform, the Raoul Wallenberg Institute for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, the Basel Institute on Governance and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights –  will discuss current challenges and future opportunities in the work on corruption and human rights, and how we as scholars and practitioners can work together to explore further and understand the nexus between corruption and human rights, in order to inhibit and prevent corrupt practices and advance the respect for human rights.

This dialogue aims to further explore the nexus and its consequences on peoples and societies, with the aim to contribute to ongoing debates at the UN Human Rights Council on the ways forward in the implementation of the coming resolution.
