Legal Aspects of Combating Corruption (LCC) (MASL P176040)
Corruption in the defense sector hinders military efficiency, erodes confidence in democratic governance, and facilitates transnational crime and terrorism. LCC covers the international legal framework for combating corruption, and the interplay of national law and policy within that framework. It enhances participants’ ability to act against public corruption in the defense sector; improve national efforts to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute corrupt practices. LCC promotes interaction among participants and with policy-makers, corruption prevention experts and law enforcement officials.
Each participant analyses his or her current national defense sector approach to combat corruption relative to international standards and best practices. The faculty includes anti-corruption practitioners representing local, state and federal government, nongovernmental organizations and the media.
During the new three-week LCC course, participants take part in cultural familiarization activities in Newport, RI, Boston, MA, and Washington D.C. under the DIILS Field Studies Program (FSP).
