dc.description.abstractAn ongoing challenge in seizing and confiscating proceeds of crime, is establishing a link between a specific asset and a particular crime, the years it can take to get from investigation to prosecution stage can make it hard to demonstrate such links. To address this issue, equivalent value-based (EVB) measures offer a solution by enabling the restraint and confiscation of assets equivalent in value to the benefit derived from criminal activities, regardless of their origin. This guide delves into the utilization of EVB measures as a tool for asset recovery in cases of corruption and financial crimes. It underscores the potential of EVB measures to enhance the efficiency and scope of asset recovery efforts, particularly in jurisdictions where traditional asset recovery tools fall short. The guide provides a comprehensive review of international legal frameworks, which mandate the implementation of EVB measures, analyzes national experiences from 22 surveyed jurisdictions in implementation of EVB measures, and provides recommendations for strengthening the use of EVB measures.en
