Thoughts on the Taskforce:
This Taskforce provides a prime opportunity to not only formulate Trans-Atlantic initiatives to strengthen global democracy, but to also bring together a group of individuals who can use these ideas on a realistic level to drive actionable and sustainable outcomes in the fight against illicit finance.
