“…And academic researchers have not progressed much further, largely focusing on whether, how and why the FATF has been an effective network. This includes, for example, the FATF's ability to influence domestic legal systems of both its members and non-members (Rose, 2015) and why, how and to what extent states, regulators and firms comply with FATF's standards (Hardouin, 2011;Joosten et al, 2019;Bolgorian et al, 2023).…”

Purpose This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of literature on policing money laundering to evaluate the quality of evidence presented in academic and grey literature. In doing so, this paper reflects upon what strategies and mechanisms work in preventing, detecting and disrupting money laundering. Design/methodology/approach To investigate the quality of evidence presented in academic and grey literature on money laundering, the authors have conducted a structured literature review of over 1,000 sources. The authors have then evaluated the quality of evidence of these sources by using three distinct methods, namely, the Maryland scale, research excellence framework and quality of empirical evidence framework. Findings This paper finds a large number of studies on money laundering meeting the highest academic quality standard. However, only a very small number of those studies include empirical evidence that policing measures actually work with no study able to demonstrate a correlation between money laundering measures and risk factors at any point in time. Originality/value This paper provides practical and theoretical insights into what works in money laundering and the role of scientific evaluations. It is particularly relevant for the successful implementation of anti-money laundering policy measures, including, for example, the UK’s Economic Crime Plan 2023–2026, which aspires to measure the progress and impact of policing in this area.

“…Follow-ups on any recommendations, assuming no delays, would be separated by a decade; reports can be kept confidential and country visits are voluntary. 65 Given these limitations, some have called the uncac a lex simulata 'apparently operable, but never intended to be applied' . 66 In my view, this is an excessive and too harsh judgment.…”

Although first noted discussions at the United Nations (UN) level about corruption are reaching their 50th anniversary, the core of the UN activity against corruption has taken place in the last quarter of a century. The 2021 special debate at the UN General Assembly was an opportunity for the institution to pause and reflect about its role over this period in the international fight against corruption. It also presented a (partially missed) opportunity for the UN to renew its commitment and reconsider its approach for the next 25 years. This article provides first an overview of the UN activity against corruption, which relies on two main pillars. On the one hand, the well-known United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC)1 in force since 2005, which has received remarkable academic attention and is an example of success in terms of ratifications. On the other hand, the insertion in Sustainable Development Goal 16 of an anticorruption objective (16.5) and its related indicators, which is not as widely acknowledged by anticorruption activists and scholars but serves as a recognition of the importance of tackling corruption in the development context. The article offers a historical contextualisation of both initiatives, analyses this dual approach and explores the impact of these initiatives in the global and domestic contexts. Based on previous research from the author, it highlights their joint value as a true global statement against corruption and an authoritative recognition of its damaging effects and their importance for peace, security, development, human rights and human wellbeing. The article presents, nevertheless, a critical analysis showing their shortcomings and the lack of a real effect of these instruments in overcoming or at least reducing corruption and kleptocracy at the international level. It proposes three different avenues within the UN mandate and fields of action that could guide newer initiatives. First, it explores the possibility of individual (non-criminal) ‘smart’ sanctions, modelled on the counter-terrorism regime driven by national governments, but assisted by United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Second, the article considers how the economic and trade dimension of the UN, especially at the regional economic commissions level, could be reinvigorated with a mandate to tackle corruption through economic instruments. Third, it analyses how an optional protocol to the UNCAC could give more ‘teeth’ to the Convention. The general conclusion is that the UN, within its existing powers, has significant potential to take anticorruption initiatives a step further as the current ones have almost exhausted their shelf life.

“…There is increasing evidence of such coordination, he argues, facilitated by the growing emergence of coordination mechanisms, including formal and informal networks between enforcement agencies. Rose's (2015) and Davis' (2019) analysis has been useful for my findings. Specifically, the elements of comparison and change that are described in Chapter 7 can be matched with the elements of the OECD paradigm, as identified by Davis (2019).…”

“…The transplant of American law to the Netherlands has not taken place in isolation. Rose (2015) traces the creation of international anti-corruption norms through four markedly different institutions: the OECD, the United Nations, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, and the Financial Action Task Force. She argues that the USA was a driving force behind most of these anti-corruption institutions and investigates to what extent they influence domestic legal systems.…”

“…The OECD Working Group and the UNCAC peer review process both played an important role in the transfer. The US was an important force behind the creation of both the UNCAC and the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention (Folsom, 2019), as well as several other international instruments regulating financial markets, such as the Financial Action Task Force (Pieth, 2007;Rose, 2015). US businesses strongly lobbied their government to advance these international agreements; US companies wanted anti-foreign bribery rules to apply equally to their competitors abroad, in the same the rules had applied to them since the FCPA was enacted in the late 1970s (Pieth, 2007).…”

Conducting the research that resulted in this book would not have been possible without the assistance of many individuals and institutions. I am particularly grateful to all who participated in my research, either by taking the time to be interviewed or by allowing me to observe them at work. I sincerely appreciate your openness and your trust. Thanks to my supervisors Cedric Ryngaert and Kim Loyens. You have always provided both thorough and timely feedback to my work, and have continuously supported me in developing my own ideas. Together, you have provided an inspirational example of interdisciplinary coope ration, being genuinely interested in each other's expertise and appreciating differences in values between research traditions. I also thank the members of the reading committee: Kevin Davis, Judith van Erp, François Kristen, Abiola Makinwa and Karin van Wingerde. Thank you for your valuable comments and questions. And to my paranimfs, Jeff Handmaker and Judith Kaspersma: thank you for your support throughout the project, and especially during this final year. There were many people at Utrecht University who provided a supportive environment. I thank my colleagues in the research group on Unilateralism and the Protection of Global Interests (UNIJURIS), as well as my colleagues at the Utrecht Centre for Accountability and Liability Law (UCALL). I have also felt connected with several colleagues at the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights (SIM), the Willem Pompe Institute for Criminal Law and Criminology, and the research area of Institutions for Open Societies (IOS).
