Tinhampton wrote:The principles of this draft appear to be about international collaboration in crimefighting and asset seizure/forfeiture as a broad concept. Why are you limiting its applications to "environmental crimes" in particular, as opposed to making this a general resolution about those matters applicable to all (major?) crimes?
Tinhampton wrote:Article 2 requires that proceeds from environmental crime be returned. To who?
Article 4 requires members to "treat environmental crimes as severe crimes, as defined in the resolution." However, your draft does not define what a severe crime is, and the only use of the phrase "severe crime" in any GA resolution is in the preamble of a ten-year-old resolution which claims that the World Assembly already requires "the extradition of those suspected of certain severe crimes."
Article 5 requires environmental crimes to be "treated as predicate offences, as defined and mandated." Again, this phrase appears nowhere in your draft and nowhere in any other resolution.

If they don't reply in that amount of time, just keep bumping it every time that amount of time passes and you will get responses.

The General Assembly, A.

Recognizing the critical role of effective international cooperation in preventing and combating crime, and emphasizing the importance of addressing, tackling, and effectively responding to international challenges and barriers, particularly measures that obstruct such cooperation and are inconsistent with the World Assembly Mission Statement and international law obligations, and urging States to do so per their international obligations, Hereby, 1. Requires all Member-States to take effective measures to prevent and combat environmental crimes, such as illicit trafficking in wildlife, including flora and fauna, in timber and timber products, hazardous wastes and other wastes, precious metals, stones, and other minerals, as well as poaching, by maximizing the use of relevant international instruments and strengthening legislation, international cooperation, and international cooperation, 2.

Requires also that Member-States are also to develop or amend national legislation, as necessary and appropriate, by fundamental principles of their domestic law, so that crimes affecting the environment that fall within the definition, are defined in Article 1, provided in this resolution are treated as predicate offenses, as defined and mandated in Article 4, for money-laundering offenses and are actionable under domestic legislation on proceeds of crime, so that assets derived from crime are not misappropriated. | The Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, [...] 1. Taking note of paragraph 9 (e) of the Doha Declaration on Integrating Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice into the Wider United Nations Agenda to Address Social and Economic Challenges and to Promote the Rule of Law at the National and International Levels, and Public Participation, in which Member States affirmed their determination to strive to adopt effective measures to prevent and counter the serious problem of crimes that have an impact on the environment, such as trafficking in wildlife, including flora and fauna as protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, timber and timber products and hazardous waste, as well as poaching, by strengthening legislation, international cooperation, capacity-building, criminal justice responses and law enforcement efforts aimed at, inter alia, dealing with transnational organized crime, corruption and money-laundering linked to such crimes, [...] E. Recognizing that crimes that affect the environment may also have a negative impact on economies, public health, human safety, food security, livelihoods and habitats, [...] A. Alarmed by existing research indicating that crimes that affect the environment have become some of the most lucrative transnational criminal activities and are often closely interlinked with different forms of crime and corruption, and that money-laundering and the illicit financial flows derived from them may contribute to the financing of other transnational organized crimes and terrorism, C. Deeply concerned about all those killed, injured, threatened or exploited by organized criminal groups involved in or benefiting from crimes that affect the environment and about those whose living environment, safety, health or livelihoods are endangered or put at risk by those crimes, and affirming its resolve to assist and protect those affected, in accordance with national law, D.
