Summary

Corruption has become deeply embedded in the political and social fabric of Indian society, impacting negatively on human rights as well as on development initiatives, economic growth, and access to justice. Viewing corruption as a violation of human rights this work proposes the adoption of a multi-pronged strategy for its elimination, including the creation of a new legislative framework, a new and independent empowered commission against corruption, and an effective institutional mechanism.
