Abstract

Writing in 2022, Mark Wolf, Richard Goldstone, and Robert Rotberg detail a proposal for the establishment of an International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC), a plan that has received some diplomatic support from Canada, Ecuador, and the Netherlands. The focus of this article rests on asset recovery in the context of the proposal. Among the questions that the article considers are: (i) What might the drafters of a statute for a prospective IACC learn from the experience of the International Criminal Court in relation to asset recovery? and (ii) How might an IACC’s focus on corruption serve to heighten the importance of asset recovery and/or create special challenges in this sphere of the proposed institution’s operations?
