United Nations Policy toolkit on The Hague good practices on the nexus between transnational organized crime and terrorism
As a response to the growing concern of States regarding the nexus between transnational organised crime (TOC) and terrorism (often referred to as simply: the Nexus), the United Nations Inter-regional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) has been working in partnership with the Netherlands under the umbrella of the Global Counter-terrorism Forum (GCTF) Nexus between Transnational Organized Crime and Terrorism Initiative (Nexus Initiative), to support the international community on this matter. This Nexus Policy Toolkit marks the culmination of the process of research and consultation, and was designed to further support practitioners, policymakers as well as other governmental experts, to formulate responses and to translate the Good Practices into concrete actions. More specifically, the Toolkit will help States to better understand this evolving phenomenon; and, provide States with guidance on how to respond to the links between organised crime and terrorism. The Toolkit also provides definitions and watch points that facilitate its 'monitoring'.

United Nations Drivers of illicit financial flows
This study offers a comparative analysis of 42 countries, examining common trends among causes leading to illicit cross-border money transfers. Its findings support existing theoretical frameworks on the key drivers of illicit financial flows. Our analysis has identified that most countries that experience large transfers to offshore bank accounts are characterised by weak regulatory systems: i.e., shortcomings in the institutional capacities to detect, monitor and prosecute illicit financial flows are the primary drivers behind tax evasion. The growing availability of macroeconomic and governance data on developing countries provides avenues for more detailed research on illicit financial flows in the future. As alternative methodologies for measuring these flows become more sophisticated, there is both a pressing need and a huge potential for the advancement of a research agenda focusing on illicit cross-border money flows.
