Confiscation and restitution of illicit assets and obligations of the United Nations Convention against Corruption

Confiscation and restitution of illicit assets is an important concern that from its beginning has been in the agenda of the United Nations relevant Convention and will be in it. However, there are some questions: which kind of commitments has been established by Convention; to which degree the members can act on these commitments; which kind of legislative and executive preconditions are concerned necessary; and if the current process of combat has a suitable speed. The main subject of this research is to find out some answers to these questions. To do so, we rely on librarian studies and the reports of Convention’s workshops. At the end, we try to offer some legislative and executive strategies.
