To many, corruption and financial crimes may seem like abstract concepts. But their impact is very concrete affecting the everyday lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world. They undermine elections, democracy, and the rule of law. They erode human rights and hinder social inclusion. In some regions, they contribute to insecurity and help fuel terrorism. And virtually everywhere, they ultimately curtail sustainable development.
As a multidimensional problem, corruption and financial crime need to be tackled through holistic approaches and multi-stakeholder s...
Radicalization, violent extremism and terrorism sit at the forefront of today’s policy discussions and remain major challenges to peace faced in today’s world. Although the 2019 Global Terrorism Index has indicated a 15,2 % fall in the number of fatalities caused by acts of terrorism worldwide in 2018, the terrorist landscape and its impact have remained complex and widespread. In 2018, the overall impact of terrorism was still higher in 80 countries when compared to five years ago. Many armed conflicts are linked to violent extremist groups, causing displacement, economic ...
