ABSTRACT
At the end of their debate, on November 23, 1994, the World Ministerial Conference on Organised Transnational Crime passed the draft of a resolution of the UN General Assembly1, a political declaration as well as a world programme against this form of criminality. This world programme includes several preventive measures against money laundering, one of them, mentioned in particular, being the reinforcement of the administrative and jurisdictional mechanisms in order to obtain a better transparency in commerce. This reinforcement aims to collect precise information on property, purchase, takeover and resale of companies available.
