Valentina Carraro and Hortense Jongen advise UN FACTI panel

At the request of High-Level Panel on International Financial Accountability, Transparency and Integrity for Achieving the 2030 Agenda Financing for Sustainable Development (FACTI), Valentina Carraro, Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Groningen, and Hortense Jongen, Assistant Professor in International Relations at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, reviewed the effectiveness of the peer review mechanisms of six of the most important anticorruption and financial integrity agreements:

• the Implementation Review Mechanism of the United Nations Convention against Corruption,
• the Follow-Up Mechanism for the Implementation of the Inter-American Convention against Corruption (MESICIC),
• the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development Working Group on Bribery (OECD Antibribery Convention),
• the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes,
• the Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting,
• the Financial Action Task Force and the Financial Action Task Force-Style Regional Bodies.

You can find a summary of their findings and recommendations here, and their paper here.  (Background on the FACTI and a link to its interim report recommending changes in international and domestic laws to combat corruption and stem  illicit financial flows is here.)
