Abstract
Abstract Chapter 4 outlines the international legal rules on the recovery of proceeds of corruption and discusses select domestic and international case studies on grand corruption and asset recovery. Through these case studies, the chapter identifies the main legal and practical challenges that may arise when implementing these rules. Although reference is made to other regional anti-corruption treaties, this chapter focuses on UNCAC because of its comprehensive nature and its universal reach. The UNCAC is the only global, binding international anti-corruption treaty. As of September 2023, it had been ratified by 189 states parties, and many have refrained from making reservations that would damage the integrity of the treaty. The chapter also discusses how the legal and practical challenges to corruption might undermine victims’ access to justice and effective remedies.
