(https://star.worldbank.org/sit...)

Issuing body

G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group

Brief description

The principles are aimed at supporting the process of denying safe havens for criminals and fostering cooperation between countries.

Relevant excerpts

1. G20 Leaders have committed to action in the area of preventing corrupt officials and those who corrupt them from being able to travel abroad with impunity. The common principles detailed below are meant to support that process and foster cooperation.

-Our objective is to send a strong signal to corrupt individuals that corruption and impunity are unacceptable and that G20 members are, therefore, committed to denying safe haven to those who engage in such behavior. The target is corrupt behavior and the individuals who engage in it, not specific countries or regions.

-Countries are encouraged to adopt denial of entry authorities (policies, legal frameworks, and enforcement measures) that apply, specifically and by explicit reference, to corrupt conduct.

-Cooperation is useful to ensure the greatest effectiveness of our actions in this area. G-20 countries can usefully share points of contact for their respective relevant authorities for the purposes of cooperation, as a starting point.

-Our respective relevant authorities are encouraged to cooperate for purposes of meeting the Leaders commitment in this area.
