Honduras - Thailand - Ukraine

Honduras seeks international help to fight corruption. A main pillar of the president's campaign was establishing an international anti-corruption mechanism supported by the UN and modeled after CICIG in Guatemala. Honduras and the UN signed an MoU in 2022, but this needs to be followed up by legal reforms to address institutional corruption and structural impunity says policy director.

Thai election bodies draw up assessment criteria to determine whether policy platforms can lead to corruption. Political parties in Thailand are legally required to submit their policies to the Election Commission (EC) for public release, where source of election funds, benefits and risks are disclosed. The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and the EC then assess whether the policies are prone to policy-oriented graft and if they uphold transparency requirements.

Mitigating corruption in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. U4 anti-corruption resource centre finds that there is a broad alignment on the Ukrainian anti-corruption policy priorities after the war. Was Ukraine to have military success on the battlefield, it may only represent a partial victory if Ukraine is unable to emerge from the war on a trajectory towards rule of law, control of corruption and democratic accountability says U4.
