UN Global Anti-Money Laundering Fight
As far as money laundering should be fought not only on a local scale, but also on a global one, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime is much concerned about this matter.
In order to combat money laundering, the United Nations gives much attention to fighting organized crime, an important contribution to which is the Global Programme against Money Laundering (GPML).
The GPML is the key instrument of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime to fight against money laundering. By means of this programme, the United Nations helps its members in introducing legislation against money laundering and developing the mechanisms for anti-money laundering. The GPML encourages anti-money laundering policy development, informs the public on money laundering and related matters as well as acts as a coordinator of joint anti-money laundering efforts of the United Nations and other international organizations.
