New scientific publication on (Constitutional Empowerment to Confront Corruption)
A new scientific book by Professor Dr. Al-Hadi Ali Bu Hamra, a faculty member in the Criminal Law Department at the University of Tripoli, was published by Dar Al-Waleed Library for Printing, Publishing and Distribution.
The new publication is titled (Constitutional Empowerment to Confront Corruption) as an empowerment to prevent legalized corruption that requires constitutional empowerment of legislative and institutional anti-corruption mechanisms, with the aim of deterring corruption in the legislative authority, in a way that takes us beyond merely considering corruption as a case of violating criminal, administrative, or financial laws.
In a brief reading of the book's summary, the writer says that one of the requirements of a solid legislative structure to combat corruption is not to leave the making of laws and determining their enforcement policies to the authority of those who have jurisdiction and competence over them, without sufficient foundations and guidelines that rise above them, protect their purposes, frame them, deter their escape, and prevent their transformation into a tool of corruption, used to ensure continuity in power, and to achieve partisan, regional, or personal interests at the expense of the well-being of society and the state. This is because in the absence of these governing principles, these laws and policies may fluctuate with the fluctuation of those who take turns in power, and change with the change of their orientations and whims, and change with the change of their conflict of interests. When this is the case, then fortifying the components of the state, with what it requires in terms of protecting its systems, and establishing the requirements to enable its institutions to carry out their functions, and preventing deviation in the use of its means, imposes an arrangement of priorities for the measures of the system of preventing corruption; so that measures to prevent corruption using the law precede measures to prevent corruption that is against the law.
