On 10 November, Human Rights Watch says that to help make the return of stolen assets reality, civil society organisations, including Human Rights Watch, developed the Civil Society Principles for Accountable Asset Return. These principles build on those agreed by the Global Forum for Asset Recovery, an intergovernmental initiative hosted by the World Bank. Numerous groups contributed to the Civil Society Principles, drawing on their experiences observing cases of asset repatriation in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea. It says that responsibly returning assets is especially challenging when the corrupt person from whom they were seized remains in power. The principles include transparency and public participation, integrity, accountability and victim restitution.
