Development - Good Governance

In 2003, the former Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights appointed Ms. Christy Mbonu (Nigeria) as Special Rapporteur with the task of preparing a comprehensive study on corruption and its impact on the full enjoyment of human rights, in particular economic, social and cultural rights (resolution 2003/2). The former Commission on Human Rights, convinced of the destructive effects of all forms of corruption on the enjoyment of human rights, the rule of law and the implementation of the right to development, endorsed the Sub-Commission’s appointment (decision 2004/106).

The mandate ended in 2006 when the Sub-Commission was replaced by the Advisory Committee, the new expert advisory mechanism of the Human Rights Council.
