The Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative, a joint initiative of the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime and the World Bank focused on encouraging and facilitating more systematic and timely return of stolen assets, has developed this Asset Recovery Handbook: A Guide for Practitioners. This handbook guides practitioners as they grapple with the strategic, organizational, investigative, and legal challenges of recovering assets that have been stolen by corrupt leaders and hidden abroad. It provides common approaches to recovering stolen assets located in foreign jurisdictions, identifies the challenges that practitioners are likely to encounter, and introduces good practices. By consolidating into a single framework the information dispersed across various professional backgrounds, the handbook will enhance the effectiveness of practitioners working in a team environment.
