Abstract
"This year, uniquely, the country reports section of the Global Corruption Report focuses on the cover theme: judicial corruption. In so doing it deepens the analysis contained in the comparative essays in part one by presenting studies that focus on judicial corruption in individual national jurisdictions. As in past years, the country reports are largely written by members of TI’s national chapters around the world. In previous years it was up to each TI national chapter to select the corruption-related topics discussed in their reports. Time and again the judiciary emerged as the preferred focus. Most of the reports in this section are from countries where judicial corruption is systemic and where TI national chapters are already campaigning on the issue in a bid to remedy the fact. Each begins with a set of indicators on the judiciary, which provides context for later analysis of access to justice, judges’ salaries and other aspects of the judicial system that either encourage or discourage corruption. Some data could not be obtained, which is indicative of the level of transparency in the country concerned. The following table describes the main corruption problems identified in the country studies, which are reflected in the recommendations to this book (see Executive Summary). The lefthand column lists recommendations; the central column describes how corruption manifests itself when the requirement is absent, weak or disregarded; and the right-hand column indicates the country reports that address that particular issue."(pg 167)
