A I E S E C I N G I K I
(The misconduct could be committed by
the host or sending entities).

4. Fake approval/realization: EP approved/realized but did
not travel/is unaware of the exchange process.
Fake completion: fake realization criteria and or, EP not
being the one responsible to fill the standards survey.
The entity directed blackmail, threat(s), or harm towards
the EP in any way.
The entity attempted to bypass APIPs thus undermining
the possibility for the other party to submit a case.
A case may not appear as a violation but involves
harm/misconduct towards a certain party, and thus needs
to be submitted.

General Rules
and Information
The complaint should be lodged in “good faith”, i.e.:
without any ulterior motives of any sort of advantage.
Good faith is identified solely by the ICB, which presumes
that the complaining party acted in good faith until proven
otherwise. In the event that it is determined that the
complaining party did not act in good faith, the case will
not be processed.
ICB is obliged to inform the parties of the progress of the
case and solutions and resolve the complaint within
fifteen (15) days and tracking the implementations of its
solutions.
AIESEC Entities are expected to respond to ICB emails
within forty-eight (48) working hours unless specified
otherwise. In the event that they fail to do so, ICB will
inform the Global Plenary and proceed with further steps
outlined by the APIP, Global Compendium and annexes.
ICB will assess a filed complaint and decide the next
steps.
