The Third Arab Forum on Asset Recovery, Geneva, 1-3 November 2014
Arab Forum on Asset Recovery (AFAR III), Co-chaired by Switzerland, Egypt and Tunisia.
It was established in 2012 and works as a platform bringing together the G7, the Deauville Partnership with Arab Countries in Transition, key global and regional financial centers, as well as countries in the Arab World, to foster international cooperation for the return of stolen assets. Since its inception, AFAR has addressed the key pressing needs of Arab States in recovering assets, and has served as a forum for practical action and cooperation. Mobilizing both policy makers and practitioners, it has generated political momentum, raised awareness locally and internationally of effective measures for asset recovery, promoted domestic coordination and facilitated international cooperation on cases. It has also provided training and guidance to increase the capability of law enforcement and other officials.
