Anti-corruption and conflict reading / Cambodia trafficking in persons issue / Philippines procurement corruption allegations

3 Things Peacebuilders Should Read About Anti-corruption and Conflict (Blog).  “[We] share three key texts peacebuilders should read to grasp how anti-corruption practitioners approach dilemmas of conflict and corruption and where peacebuilders can contribute to the conversation. Given how often corruption is identified as a core driver of conflict, we hope peacebuilders can see their own work well-embedded in these articles, albeit in different language.”

2021 Trafficking in Persons Report: Cambodia.  “Endemic corruption and lack of political will continued to severely limit progress in holding traffickers accountable; corruption continued to impede law enforcement operations, criminal proceedings, and victim service provision…The national police maintained a mechanism for NGO workers to report incidents of corruption among anti-trafficking police, but it did not report if it received or responded to any complaints during the reporting period.”

PNP chief: Body cam procurement fully accounted for.  “Following Sen. Manny Pacquiao's allegations of corruption in numerous government agencies, the chief of the Philippine National Police said that his agency's procurement of hundreds of millions of pesos worth of body cameras was "fully-accounted" for.”
