Our newly established center is poised to catalyze positive change among the member nations, driving forward efforts to strengthen standards and promote the integrity of democracy.
In light of recent discussions among international bodies, including the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the European Commission, improving anti-money laundering efforts and regulatory frameworks has become a matter of urgency. The microstates are at a critical juncture, grappling with escalating threats to democracy and the rule of law. From vulnerabilities to external economic and political pressures, and limited resources for comprehensive governance, to risks related to transparency and corruption, these nations face unique reputational, democratic, and legal challenges.
At Micro-Civitas, we aim to tackle these challenges through a comprehensive approach
The center will work to enhance global perception of the microstates by advocating transparent financial practices and engaging with businesses to promote ethical standards.
Our capacity-building initiatives will empower officials and professionals with skills in anti-corruption and human rights protection.
Through joint research and seminars, the center will promote innovative solutions tailored to each nation's context.
Drawing on the expertise and research generated at the center, we will develop tailored policy recommendations to reinforce democratic governance and legal frameworks, driving positive change in European microstates.
