Abstract
The United Nations are long-term active in the fight against corruption, a phenomenon troubling developed and undeveloped nations alike. Quite recently, through GA Resolution no. 75/194, asset recovery eventually gained new momentum, with a series of recommendations towards the UN Member States. Hence, this article serves the double purpose to look into said Resolution in the first place, highlighting what’s new and, on the contrary, what can be considered an inheritance from previous attempts addressing the matter; secondly, to discern whether and where the measures auspicated by the General Assembly are already in place, and in what degree of implementation. In particular, the article aims at laying emphasis on the many differences between the attitude of the involved countries and regional organizations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
