| Research Abstract |
This research concerns an analysis of the relationship between international conventions in criminal matters and domestic legislation corresponding to them. The UN Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs, and the Specific Act on Narcotic Drugs stipulate the punishment of money laundering and extensive measures to confiscate illegal assets derived from illicit traffic in narcotic drugs. The UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the Act on the Punishment of Organized Crime extend such measures to other significant offenses. Regarding the punishment of active bribery to foreign public officials, there exists the OECD Convention on Combating Foreign Bribery. In order to ratify this Convention, the Unfair Competition Prevention Act was revised. Concerning the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, a new domestic Law was enacted. Regarding cybercrime, there exists the Convention on Cybercrime of the Council of Europe. In this connection a draft Act to revise the Penal Code has been submitted to the Diet. The UN Convention against Corruption was adapted in 2002. This Convention stipulates the measures for a country B, where exist illegal assets stolen by a public official of country A, to confiscate and return them to country A (asset recovery).
