Abstract

Decision directed to Parties

Parties are encouraged to work with competent organizations in the International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime (ICCWC) with the support of the Secretariat and other bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to seek assistance and guidance on the measures they can take to combat money laundering associated with wildlife crime, including how they can identify and assess related risk in National Risk Assessments, and to promote the integration of financial crime investigations into the investigation of crimes involving wildlife.
