How can asset recovery be truly transparent?
With global civil society, we’ve outlined key principles to ensure recovered assets are managed accountably and transparently. From strong oversight to public participation, these steps help prevent misuse.

Final day of our Global CSO Asset Recovery Forum & we're discussing challenges and opportunities for civil society: 1) reputation laundering 2) backlashes and struggles in asset recovery. We have avenues of action, but we need to adapt tactics to address these realities!

Returning assets is not enough - how we return them is just as important. We need traceability, accountability if things go wrong and victim participation. Was really happy to speak to that on this panel!
Second session of our Global Forum: How many assets do you know that are frozen or seized versus returned? And what mechanisms are being used to return those assets? Discussed here were returns to EG, Angola and Uzbekistan (our resources on this: cifar.eu/return-mecha...)
