Abstract
Part 1 of the report focuses on the main theme of the 125th Training Course: “Effective Countermeasures against Illicit Drug Trafficking and Money Laundering.” Six visiting experts presented papers ranging from the investigation of money laundering and corruption in Hong Kong to international developments in mutual legal assistance and extradition. Two papers from the United States deal with the challenges encountered by United States anti-money laundering efforts across borders and the problems the United States may face with the new repatriation obligations under the United Nations Convention. Participant papers deal with drug and money laundering problems in Estonia, Pakistan, and Thailand and illustrate the ways in which these countries have confronted the problem through legal frameworks and international cooperation. Reports of the Course are also published in this volume and include reports from three groups on effective criminal investigation, countermeasures against organized crime, and effectively tracing the proceeds of crime. Part 2 of the report contains two visiting expert papers presented at the 6th International Training Course on Corruption Control in Criminal Justice; the papers focus on corruption control measures in New Zealand and Singapore. A report of the general discussion is also offered which contains several recommendations on corruption control policies.
