Matthew C. Stephenson, Sofie Arjon Schütte (2019). An International Anti-Corruption Court? A synopsis of the debate. Bergen: Chr. Michelsen Institute (U4 Brief 2019:5)

Impunity and the transnational nature of corruption have led to calls for an international anti-corruption court that could hold kleptocrats accountable and spur governments to improve national justice systems. But there are concerns that such a court is not politically feasible, that pressuring countries to join it would do more harm than good, and that the court would not be sufficiently effective in combating grand corruption to justify its costs.
