Olaniyan Addresses Ownership of Proceeds Deriving from Corruption in New Book
Oxford University Press has published a book entitled ‘Ownership of Proceeds of Corruption in International Law’, which details the legal approaches to recovering the proceeds of corruption.
Kolawole Olaniyan, the author of ‘Ownership of Proceeds of Corruption in International Law’, intelligently addresses the retrieval of proceeds deriving from corruption as a principle of international law.
The book does not only inform on sovereignty and ownership rights of the people over proceeds of corrupt activities, but it also proposes theoretical and legal frameworks for victims to retrieve proceeds of corruption and get justice.
As a book dealing with global relevance, it exposes the intricacies of public sector corruption and discusses the sharing formulae of profits on foreign bribery.
Furthermore, as corruption is overwhelmingly spreading its tentacles across the globe, ‘Ownership of Proceeds of Corruption in International Law’ delves into the planned International Anticorruption Court.
However, it does not underemphasise the significance of international cooperation and assistance in asset recovery cases across the globe.
‘Ownership of Proceeds of Corruption in International Law’ can be accessed on the internet at Oxford University Press and Amazon. https://bit.ly/3uR5QM9
