The Ninth Session of the Conference of the State Parties to the United Nations Convention against

Corruption gave the participants an opportunity to exchange information and experiences, share

challenges and opportunities. These sessions enriched knowledge and paved the way for

more research, studies and discussions for promoting the mechanisms of combating corruption and

implementing all the themes in the United Nations Convention against Corruption. The participant

states asserted the importance of activating the approved mechanisms and measures for

asset recovery. This requires real and sincere cooperation from all the approved international

parties. The discussions also pointed out that it is crucial to agree on standard legal frameworks and

principles because the considerable variation in legislations among the states in relation to asset recovery is a

major hindrance for resuming international cooperation in this respect.
