Measures to combat money-laundering
Each State Party:
(a) Shall institute a comprehensive domestic regulatory and supervisory
regime for banks and non-bank financial institutions and, where appropriate,
other bodies particularly susceptible to money-laundering, within its competence, in order to deter and detect all forms of money-laundering, which regime
shall emphasize requirements for customer identification, record-keeping and
the reporting of suspicious transactions;
(b) Shall, without prejudice to articles 18 and 27 of this Convention,
ensure that administrative, regulatory, law enforcement and other authorities
dedicated to combating money-laundering (including, where appropriate under
domestic law, judicial authorities) have the ability to cooperate and exchange
information at the national and international levels within the conditions
prescribed by its domestic law and, to that end, shall consider the establishment
of a financial intelligence unit to serve as a national centre for the collection,
analysis and dissemination of information regarding potential moneylaundering.
2. States Parties shall consider implementing feasible measures to detect
and monitor the movement of cash and appropriate negotiable instruments
across their borders, subject to safeguards to ensure proper use of information
and without impeding in any way the movement of legitimate capital. Such
measures may include a requirement that individuals and businesses report the
cross-border transfer of substantial quantities of cash and appropriate negotiable
instruments.
