We invite you to join the webinar "Corruption-Human Rights Nexus: Moving from Legal to Social Norms," which will be held on November 12 from 15:00 to 16:30 online (Zoom). This event is part of the "Addressing Corruption Together – ACT" project, implemented by the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights, the Ukrainian Bar Association, and Action for Justice.

The speaker of the event, Morten Koch Andersen, Research Director at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights, will discuss the connection between corruption and human rights. Although corruption and human rights belong to different spheres of law, policy, and practice, their violations share common causes and evolve at the intersection of legal and social norms. Key challenges include ensuring accountability and prevention, harmonizing general and specific approaches across countries, political systems, and cultures, and improving legal practices with consideration of social norms.
