These briefs on anti-corruption courts in Indonesia, the Philippines, Slovakia and Uganda are part of a series on special anti-corruption courts by the U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre.

More and more countries, especially developing and transitioning countries, establish specialised anti-corruption institutions. A wave of special investigative and prosecutorial bodies (anti-corruption agencies) has been followed by the establishment of special courts to hear corruption and related crime cases. The briefs discuss the courts' design and whether they have lived up to the expectations that led to their establishment. From their common and unique challenges we draw lessons for their particular country context, but also specialisation of courts more generally.

These four case studies will be complemented by a forthcoming U4 issue paper by Matthew Stephenson and Sofie Schütte discussing and comparing more special courts for corruption cases around the world.

Thank you to Sofie Arjon Schütte, PhD, Senior Advisor, U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre, for sharing this information.
