Key Challenges – Article 23

  • Predicate offences do not include all UNCAC offences,

whether committed within or outside the jurisdiction

  • Not all modalities of the commission of the AML offence are

covered, especially in art. 23(1)

  • Weak enforcement and absence of related statistics
  • Jurisdictional
  • verlap

Key Good Practices – Article 23

  • Comprehensive legal framework and “all crimes approach”
  • Anti-money-laundering regulations in place and enforced
  • Mens rea of the offence goes beyond the minimum

standards in art. 23 (e.g. gross negligence)
