Ownership of Proceeds of Corruption in International Law

Recovery of proceeds from corruption is recognized as international law, but sovereign and ownership rights over wealth and natural resources remain theoretical. Kolawole Olaniyan's book argues that victim-states populations should be empowered to pursue grand corruption and asset recovery actions against their governments, and proposes theoretical and legal remedies for recovering proceeds.

Recovery of proceeds derived from corruption has gained increasing recognition as a fundamental principle of contemporary international law. Nonetheless, the theoretical nature of sovereign and ownership rights over wealth and natural resources has often overshadowed their practical realization, particularly in the global fight against corruption. Consequently, the populations of victim-states often find themselves unable to hold their governments accountable for misusing the proceeds of corruption, hindering their ability to benefit from the recovery, repatriation, management, and utilization of these returned funds. In a groundbreaking study, Kolawole Olaniyan challenges the conventional notion that states should have exclusive control over sovereign and ownership rights over wealth and natural resources, including the proceeds of corruption. Olaniyan's Ownership of Proceeds of Corruption in International Law delves into the intricate relationship between the right to wealth and natural resources, proceeds of corruption, and economic activities. With a particular focus on the victims of corruption, the book argues that victim-states' populations should be empowered to pursue robust actions against their governments for grand corruption and asset recovery. It proposes theoretical and legal remedies for recovering proceeds of corruption, fostering the development of domestic laws to combat this global issue.
