In this video, Canadian Senator and World Refugee Council Member Ratna Omidvar explains how countries — including Canada — can enact laws that would allow governments to repurpose corrupt foreign leaders’ the assets for the benefit of refugees, internally displaced persons and others who have been harmed by their action.
The World Refugee Council was formed in 2017 by the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) as an independent group of subject matter experts and political leaders from around the world to consider new ways of meeting the needs of refugees and states alike. The Council will propose innovative approaches to promoting greater international cooperation for the benefit of refugees and host and transit states.
