NACC Participates in the UNCAC Implementation Review Group Meeting in Vienna, Austria.
From 1 to 5 September 2025, a delegation from the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), led by Mr. Nitiphan Prachuabmoh, Deputy Secretary-General of the NACC, together with the Director of Thailand Anti-Corruption Center (TACC) and officials from the Bureau of International Affairs and Corruption Investigation, attended the meetings of the UNCAC Implementation Review Group (IRG), and the Intergovernmental Working Group on Asset Recovery and International Cooperation. The meetings discussed and deliberated on the draft resolution concerning the mechanism for the next phase of the implementation review, as well as the exchange of experiences and best practices to strengthen international cooperation in order to detect, prevent, and combat corruption, and to promote the effective recovery and return of assets derived from corruption to the victim states.
On this occasion, the delegation also held discussions with representatives of the GlobE Network, which is a network of law enforcement authorities of UNCAC States Parties, regarding cooperation to enhance the effectiveness of international corruption case investigations. The discussions also covered the scope of law enforcement agencies eligible for membership in the network, which should include the principal anti-corruption agencies, central coordinating authorities, and Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs). Such membership would strengthen coordination and the exchange of evidentiary information, including financial transactions, leading to more effective prosecution, seizure, freezing, and recovery of assets in corruption cases.
In addition, the NACC representatives, together with representatives from the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) and the Office of the Attorney General, held official discussions with representatives of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) regarding the adoption of the goAML system for countering money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The system is equipped with functions for identifying suspicious transaction reports (STR), systematically searching and importing related data, and categorizing financial transaction records to classify case-related documents and evidence. This system can therefore significantly enhance the efficiency of financial data monitoring and analysis, which is a core mission of AMLO.
