Specific description of the CSO work in relation to the UNCAC and the review mechanism of the UNCAC
NRAV has participated as a guest organization in the discussions of two UNCAC Coalition Working Groups since November 2021: Asset Recovery and Victims of Corruption. INRAV participated in the drafting of the UNCAC Coalition’s written submission to the UNCAC Conference of States Parties on asset recovery in its 9th session. Participating in these two activities has allowed INRAV to keep up to date with the latest developments in Asset Recovery in different continents and learn of specific advancements that can be advocated in the US, for example, the Roadmap for the Return of Assets Stolen from the People of Uzbekistan or the Handbook for Asset Restitution from TI France.
