This report explores how the asset recovery mechanisms of the ICC can be deployed to obtain financial recovery for survivors of international crimes. It also provides guidance for national stakeholders on how to respond to, and implement, requests for cooperation by the Court to recover the assets of persons accused of international crime. It analyses the legal and institutional frameworks in eight European nations, and the United States, to assess their ‘readiness’ to respond to asset tracing and recovery requests from the ICC.
The Annexures to the report examine in more detail the national laws of each Relevant State.
REDRESS publishes this report as part of our work under the Global Initiative against Impunity, focused on strengthening the effectiveness of existing accountability frameworks to fight impunity and ensure reparations for survivors.
