These one-week workshops, presented by the IMF's Legal Department, aim to enhance and strengthen the capacities of various groups of officials engaged in anti-money-laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT).The workshops aim to build the capacity of the participating countries' officials to evaluate their legislation, procedures and policies for dealing with proceeds of crime and terrorist assets. The workshops cover such issues as understanding core requirements under the international standards, evaluating conviction and non-conviction based approaches, assessing powers and implementation structures needed to restrain, manage and confiscate assets effectively, weighing choices on disposition of assets including international sharing and undertaking effective international cooperation. They also cover structuring an asset recovery program to respect human rights, and the special issues raised in freezing and confiscation under UN Instruments relating to terrorism.
