Former Clinton-era independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr has become the public face of a new nonprofit that’s combating corruption, white-collar fraud, and cronyism in countries that lack the rule-of-law protections that are the norm in the United States and other Western nations.
The new organization, called the Global Justice Foundation, was launched last month by international businessman Omar Ayesh, a Palestinian-Canadian who resides in the United States, and will initially focus on the Middle Eastern nations of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, two countries friendly to the United States but not known for having independent judiciaries and respecting the rule of law, in general.
