In preparation for the Independent Expert on foreign debt and human rights’ thematic report to the United Nations Human Rights Council, we have submitted a report on fiscal legitimacy in international tax matters. In this submission, we discuss two substantive issues that currently undermine fiscal legitimacy in the international sphere: (1) corruption and the abuse of public interest and (2) the deep-rooted global inequality between and among countries that stems from the legacies of colonialism.
