Abstract

The study aimed to examine the matter of international cooperation on the restitution of criminal proceeds resulting from corruption crimes. The study has depicted those corrupt activities remain a global threat given the negative effects on human rights propagator, suppression of the rule of law, social justice, and promotion of a stable democratic political framework. Thus, the study has further indicated that corruption crimes are a concern for many nations thus requiring a concerted effort for its eradication and focused due process to ensure dispensation of justice. At a legalisation point of view, the United Nations Convention against Corruption has supported the goodwill of states to foremost prevent engagement in criminal and corrupt activities; and then ensuring the recovery of all proceeds that draw from such systematic crimes.
