SUMMARY:Asset recovery and the war in Ukraine 
DESCRIPTION:On 14 November 2022\, the UN General Assembly adopted a resol
 ution calling on Russia to pay war reparations in the latest addition to
  intensifying the efforts of multilateral institutions to hold the Putin
  regime to account for its ongoing aggression in Ukraine. The historic r
 esolution recommends that member states establish an international regis
 ter to document evidence and claims against Russia\, as well as an inter
 national mechanism for damage\, losses or injuries sustained since 24 Fe
 bruary. This panel of experts will discuss examples of mechanisms which 
 could/are being adopted in different jurisdictions to enable sanctioned 
 assets to be re-purposed for seizure and ultimately used to re-build Ukr
 aine. Some countries (such as Canada) have already introduced laws to al
 low the confiscation / forfeiture of sanctioned assets. How are other co
 untries following suit? \nThis panel would be comprised of experts from 
 the Asset Recovery Committed. Mark Ellis of UK project lines has also co
 nfirmed his support for this panel.
