Key Features - International Money-Laundering Information Network (IMoLIN)

• The Anti-Money-Laundering International Database (AMLID) , a compendium of analyses of anti-money-laundering laws and regulations, including two general classes of money-laundering control measures (domestic laws and international cooperation) as well as information about national contacts and authorities. AMLID is a secure, multi-lingual database and is an important reference tool for law enforcement officers involved in cross-jurisdictional work.  The AMLID questionnaire was updated to reflect new money-laundering trends and standards, and takes into account provisions related to terrorist financing and other current standards, such as the revised FATF 40 + 9 Recommendations.  In addition, the revised AMLID questionnaire now includes a Conventions Framework section.  This new section gives an overview of the status of a country or territory to the international conventions applicable to anti-money-laundering/countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) as well as the status of a country or territory to bi-lateral/multi-lateral treaties or agreements on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters and extradition.  In April 2005, AMLU initiated the second round of analysis utilizing the recently revised questionnaire and on 27 February 2006, UNODC launched the AMLID 2nd Round of Legal Analysis;
• the reference section that contains details of the UN's latest research, abstracts of the best new research from governments and international organizations and a bibliography;
• a click-on map that takes users to regional lists of national legislation. Eventually, this section will contain the full text or links to the full text of all national anti-money-laundering/countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) legislation and regulations throughout the world. The database now contains legislation from some 170 jurisdictions and, since January 2005, more than 350 new/amended AML/CFT legislation and regulations were collected to be included in the database;
• International Norms and Standards: model laws for common law and civil law systems, standards, conventions and legal instruments ;
