Piracy in the Horn of Africa |
11 March 2010 |

A White Paper by
Rear Admiral Chris Parry CBE. With antecedents that reach back to
classical times, piracy has sprung up and thrived in various troubled
parts of the world for most of the 20th century and survived into the
early years ofour present century. Because the perpetrators live on the
land and rely on its support, piracy is paradoxically a land problem,
but with an obvious maritime dimension. Common piracy is usually
opportunistic and sporadic, organised piracy is endemic and defined by
the range and sophistication of the links that sustain it, the context
within which these networks are able to operate and the effects that
criminalised activity has on the local political, economic and
sociallandscape. The wider the connections and networks a pirate
enterprise has, the more requirements
and opportunities there are for corrupt institutions and individuals. |

PEPs: Moving Forward! - a discussion paper by David Leppan, CEO and Founder of World-Check |
22 June 2008 |
| |
|
| |
A discussion paper by David Leppan, Founder of World-Check. "From the very earliest days of World-Check, I recall much industry discussion on PEPs, the risk of doing business with them and the lack of an internationally accepted definition. There were even calls post the introduction of PEP requirements for regulatory authorities to produce PEP lists. Whether it was thanks to General Abacha or to the Riggs Bank scandal, the financial community has come to accept PEP-checking is here to stay. This discussion paper serves to provide an opinion on how we could perhaps better address certain PEP issues and how this subject may need to evolve." - David Leppan |
