Momentum is building globally for the establishment of an International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC).
On 25 January DROI will hold a workshop on legitimacy and resilience of electoral processes in illiberal political systems and authoritarian regimes, with briefings from two experts. Professor Thomas Demmelhuber (University Erlangen-Nürnberg) will talk about the functions of elections in non-democratic regimes, and Professor Richard Youngs (Carnegie Europe and University of Warwick) will assess policy options for the EU.

Such questions will be discussed at the Workshop on the ICC on 28 October 2021 with academic experts, representatives of human rights organisations, lawyers and activists.
