Tokens: Ex
turpi
causa
non
oritur
actio
(
a
person
can
not
benefit
from
his
own
illegal
action
)
is
a
well
-
known
Latin
maxim
.
The
subject
of
non
-
conviction
-
based
confiscation
is
highly
topical
in
international
legal
circles
.
Criminal
justice
policy
is
increasingly
targeting
the
proceeds
of
crime
as
a
means
of
combating
criminal
activity
and
its
consequences
.
Over
the
past
few
decades
,
an
international
criminal
policy
has
been
developing
to
ensure
the
forfeiture
of
monetary
proceeds
of
crime
,
as
part
of
the
fight
against
acquisitive
crime
.
It
is
my
view
that
the
Court
,
in
the
context
of
this
case
,
has
only
partially
addressed
the
question
of
the
compatibility
with
our
case
-
law
of
this
evolution
of
international
criminal
policy
.
