Abstract
One paper from the conference on public corruption discusses the administrative, civil, and penal measures that can be used to counter public corruption. The discussion includes a focus on the role of the judiciary. Since this paper was presented by the Italian Minister of Justice, the measures discussed relate to policies and procedures in Italy. Another paper presented by the Minister of Justice of the Netherlands addresses types of public corruption and ways of addressing it. The Maltese Minister of Justice considers the administrative, civil, and penal aspects of fighting public corruption in Malta, including the role of the judiciary in this fight. Eighteen papers are presented from the Conference on Money Laundering in States in Transition. General papers provide an overview of money laundering in countries in transition and recommendations on money laundering by the Financial Action Task Force. Other papers address measures to counter money laundering in Hungary, the Slovak Republic, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Finland, Malta, and Cyprus.
