Summary
First of two chapters on non-multilateral treaty based, transnational approaches to combatting grand corruption. This one explores international support for domestic prosecutors, focusing on the example of Guatemala’s Commission Against Impunity (CICIG)(2007–2019). It describes the extent of state capture and its origins in the country’s internal armed conflict, the mandate and activities of CICIG, and its achievements, activities and limitations. It briefly considers other such commissions.
