Lemarque Campbell will discuss current and prospective anti-corruption efforts that transcend national boundaries when it comes to generating and operationalizing anti-corruption policies and measures within the Commonwealth Caribbean, a region with limited research conducted on anti-corruption topics overall. In particular, he will discuss some of the efforts by the Commonwealth Secretariat to establish and support regional anti-corruption efforts among prosecutors and other agencies. He will also discuss ongoing efforts in various countries to strengthen anti-corruption laws, such as the disclosure regime for public officials.

He has advised governments, international organizations, private entities and civil society organizations on laws and policies that address international anti-bribery, corruption and fraud; transparency and accountability; governance, risk, integrity and ethics; and private and public sector compliance.

Additionally, he has lived in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia for two years, where he worked as a legal analyst for TI Georgia. He also served as an anti-corruption consultant to various organizations such as the U.S. Department of State, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) and TI-Secretariat. Some of his publications on the Caribbean region include the first Bahamas Corruption Barometer Report, which is based on the TI Global Corruption Barometer series; a report on The Bahamas’s progress towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16; and a chapter in a forthcoming Commonwealth Secretariat publication on anti-corruption successes in the Commonwealth Caribbean. Lemarque is admitted as a lawyer to both the Bar of England & Wales and The Bahamas Bar.
