Lunch will be provided.
Registration and lunch will begin at 11:30 am. The
program will begin at 12 noon.
Unchecked corruption undermines
efforts to fight poverty and restore human rights. Investigators struggle to
trace corrupt payments. The current regulatory regime permits corrupt
individuals to hide transactions by using third-parties posing as beneficial
owners to transmit illicit funds to offshore accounts. Professor Stuart Yeh has
proposed changes in international law involving a model international convention
that seeks to close gaps in the current enforcement regime. This program will
explore the existing gaps, the legal bases for Professor Yeh’s proposed treaty,
and the treaty’s potential impact on international
businesses.
Featuring: Stuart S. Yeh, Associate
Professor, University of Minnesota
Stuart Yeh focuses on issues related to
international poverty, human rights, governance, and rule-of-law. He has
authored multiple articles addressing issues raised by the model international
convention, including articles published in International Affairs; International
Criminal Justice Review; International Public Policy Review; Poverty and Public
Policy; and the South Carolina Journal of International Law and
Business.
