Kashmir Journal of Legal StudiesSummary: Since the dawn of human society, corruption has been a plague. The menace of corruption has long been a significant source of worry for policymakers, administrators, and the general public. Long held beliefs among some people include the notion that corruption is an uncurable disease that cannot be stopped. It is a false metaphor, not just because it conveys a sense of dread, but also because it limits actions that may be taken to lessen it. Besides, for a very long time, the international community had given a little thought to the possibility of using international human rights laws to fight corruption but that is changing and now International human rights mechanisms have been paying an increasing attention to the negative impact of corruption on the enjoyment of human rights. Moreover, human rights and anti-corruption organizations function in completely different silos, is largely a myth that needs to be dispelled. In this paper, the authors would like to contribute in debunking this myth by trying to merge the corruption discussion into the human rights discourse. Reproduced
