This book analyzes international intervention instruments against corruption in Central America. The author aims to disclose and explain the decision of the United Nations (UN) and the Organization of American States (OAS) to promote, separately but with a similar rationale, a new strategic approach to fighting corruption through the creation of two international hybrid commissions. Specifically, the author examines the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) and the Mission to Support the Fight against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (MACCIH). The CICIG and the MACCIH represent unique cases of anti-corruption hybrid commissions because they combine resources, participants and/or national and international institutions which, in a coherent and integrated manner, strengthen the investigation, prosecution and punishment of  corrupt and criminal acts.weiterlesen
