This book provokes fresh ways of thinking about small developing States within the transnational legal order for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism and proliferation (TAMLO). From the global wars on drugs and terror to journalistic exposés such as the ‘Paradise’, ‘Panama’ and ‘Pandora’ Papers, the Commonwealth Caribbean has been discursively stigmatised as a mythical island paradise of ‘rogue’ States. Not infrequently, their exercise of regulatory self-determination has been presented as the selling of their economic sovereignty to facilitate shady business deals and illicit finance from high-net-worth individuals, kleptocrats, tax-dodgers, organised crime networks and terrorist financiers. This book challenges conventional wisdom that Commonwealth Caribbean States are among the ‘weakest links’ within the global ecosystem to counter illicit finance. It achieves this by unmasking latent interests, and problematising coercive extraterritorial regulatory and surveillance practices, along the onshore/offshore and Global North/South axes. Interdisciplinary in its outlook, the book will appeal to policymakers, regulatory and supervisory authorities, academics and students concerned with better understanding legal and development policy issues related to risk-based regulatory governance of illicit finance. The book also provides an interesting exposition of substantive legal and policy issues arising from money laundering related to corruption and politically exposed persons, offshore finance, and offshore Internet gambling services.

This study helps identify new directions for law enforcement and judicial tribunals seeking to stem the flow of illegal money into the world's economies, and examines the complex interplay of local and international laws and enforcement practices-especially in the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, and Jamaica. Topics include systematic corruption engendered by money laundering, secrecy inherent in the offshore financial industry, shortcomings of criminal penalties for money laundering, tensions created by extraterritorial jurisdiction, and the often contradictory effects of U.S. foreign policy.

This report is part of a review of financial regulation in the British Caribbean Overseas Territories and Bermuda commissioned by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1999. This report deals with Anguilla. Although the island is internally governed, the Crown appointed Governor retains responsibility for international financial services. Although its main industry is tourism Anguilla has a small but growing offshore finance sector. The island has a relatively small insurance industry and four domestic banks. The report's conclusion is that Anguilla has many of the features necessary to be considered a well-regulated jurisdiction. The report notes the willingness of the island's authorities to incorporate suggested changes in legislation. There is a need to ensure the effective implementation of any new legislation. This report responds to the Government's White Paper "Partnership for progress and prosperity: Britain and overseas territories" recognised that a significant number of overseas territories have developed successful offshore financial sectors. The White Paper also observed that these developments bring risks of abuse, and that as markets develop so do the opportunities for money laundering, fraud, tax evasion and regulatory abuse. The White Paper stated that it was essential for the future of the financial sectors of these overseas territories financial that their regulatory systems must improve and be responsive to ever tighter international standards.

Breaking away from the traditional English approach of treating business law primarily as the law of contract and agency, this book provides a broad overview of the foundation of various legal systems in the Commonwealth Caribbean region and, where appropriate, embraces the jurisprudence of other Commonwealth nations such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. This third edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to take into account recent developments in case law and legislation for the region, including the impact of the United States FACTA (Foreign Account tax compliance Act) on the Caribbean financial services industry.

Adopting a mixed-methods approach, this book assesses the role of soft law as a technique to repress and prevent money laundering. The consequence of the combination of a non-traditional subject matter with the limitations of traditional international law instruments has meant that lawmakers seeking international solutions to the problems of money laundering have had to innovate. This book addresses two fundamental issues in the context of existing international and domestic responses to the problem of money laundering that have hitherto been neglected. These include the nature of the treaty obligations to criminalise money laundering, and the role of soft law as a technique to regulate it globally. The book concludes that international legal harmonisation and approximation of domestic anti-money laundering law through soft law remains helpful in addressing this pressing problem. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, and policy-makers working in the areas of Financial Crime, Anti-Money Laundering Law, Regulation, International Soft Law, and Comparative Law.
