Summary, etc The articles tackle Illicit financial flows that are increasingly recognised as one of the greatest contemporary global challenges. Such flows include money laundering, tax evasion, transnational corruption/bribery and trade mispricing. They are intertwined with trade in illicit arms, drugs, and war commodities including precious minerals.They have enabled transnational organised crime, racketeering, human trafficking, asset stripping and tax evasion on a massive scale. They also have a corrosive effect on governance and the strength of institutions,as well as draining resources vital to development – including from many of the world’s poorest countries.Illicit financial flows have thus been costly – not only in holding countries back from delivering development and undermining social justice but also in carrying a high blood price. Case studies from the DRC is given as well as policies, cases examples and vital links are given in the article.
