Full textAbstract:
The functioning of terrorist groups, like all other organisations, require appropriate financial resources. The phenomenon of terrorism needs a series of resources available for the terrorist organisations, including financial support. Terrorist financing is an area that cannot be completely defined, and the conclusions concerning it are often based on speculations and assumptions. However, it is known that there are many ways to obtain it, both legal and illegal. There is also no doubt that terrorists are still looking for new, hitherto unknown ways of financing their activities. It includes the direct expenditures for the attacks and the costs of establishing and maintaining the organisational infrastructure, its security logistics, and promoting their ideology. Among counterterrorism experts, one can come across the opinion that cutting off their funding sources is an effective method of dismantling terrorist organisations. Combating terrorism financing became an essential tool to counteract this menacing phenomenon. This article aims to overview how funds are raised and used by terrorist organisations. Funkcjonowanie grup terrorystycznych, podobnie jak wszystkich innych organizacji, wymaga odpowiednich środków finansowych. Zjawisko terroryzmu potrzebuje do funkcjonowania organizacji terrorystycznych wielu zasobów dostępnych dla nich, w tym wsparcia finansowego. Finansowanie terroryzmu jest obszarem, którego nie da się do końca zdefiniować, a wnioski dotyczące tego zagadnienia często opierają się na spekulacjach i przypuszczeniach. Wiadomo jednak, że istnieje wiele sposobów jego pozyskiwania, zarówno legalnych, jak i nielegalnych. Nie ulega też wątpliwości, że terroryści wciąż poszukują nowych, nieznanych dotąd sposobów finansowania swojej działalności. Obejmuje ono bezpośrednie wydatki na zamachy oraz koszty tworzenia i utrzymywania infrastruktury organizacyjnej, logistyki jej zabezpieczenia oraz propagowania swojej ideologii. Wśród ekspertów ds. przeciwdziałania terroryzmowi można spotkać się z opinią, że odcięcie źródeł ich finansowania jest skuteczną metodą likwidacji organizacji terrorystycznych. Walka z finansowaniem terroryzmu stała się podstawowym narzędziem przeciwdziałania temu groźnemu zjawisku. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu przybliżenie sposobów pozyskiwania i wykorzystywania środków finansowych przez organizacje terrorystyczne. Wie alle anderen Organisationen benötigen auch terroristische Organisationen für ihre Arbeit angemessene finanzielle Mittel. Das Phänomen des Terrorismus erfordert viele der Ressourcen, die terroristischen Organisationen zur Verfügung stehen, um zu funktionieren, einschließlich finanzieller Unterstützung. Die Finanzierung des Terrorismus ist ein Bereich, der nicht vollständig definiert werden kann und dessen Schlussfolgerungen häufig auf Spekulationen und Mutmaßungen beruhen. Es ist jedoch bekannt, dass es viele Möglichkeiten der Beschaffung gibt, sowohl legale als auch illegale. Es besteht auch kein Zweifel daran, dass Terroristen ständig nach neuen und bisher unbekannten Wegen zur Finanzierung ihrer Aktivitäten suchen. Dazu gehören die direkten Ausgaben für Anschläge sowie die Kosten für die Schaffung und Aufrechterhaltung der organisatorischen Infrastruktur, die Logistik für deren Sicherung und die Verbreitung ihrer Ideologie. Experten für Terrorismusbekämpfung sind der Ansicht, dass das Abschneiden der Finanzierungsquellen eine wirksame Methode zur Zerschlagung terroristischer Organisationen ist. Die Bekämpfung der Terrorismusfinanzierung ist zu einem wichtigen Instrument zur Bekämpfung dieses gefährlichen Phänomens geworden. Dieser Beitrag soll einen Einblick in die Art und Weise geben, wie terroristische Organisationen Gelder beschaffen und verwenden. Для деятельности террористических групп, как и всех других организаций, необходимы соответствующие финансовые ресурсы. Феномен терроризма требует для деятельности террористических организаций многих доступных им средств, включая финансовую поддержку. Финансирование терроризма — это сфера, которой невозможно дать полное определение, а сделанные заключения часто основаны на спекуляциях и предположениях. Однако известно, что существует много способов его получения, как законных, так и незаконных. Не вызывает сомнений и тот факт, что террористы постоянно ищут новые и ранее неизвестные способы финансирования своей деятельности. Сюда входят прямые расходы на проведение терактов, а также затраты на создание и поддержку организационной инфраструктуры, материально-техническое обеспечение безопасности и пропаганду своей идеологии. Среди экспертов по борьбе с терроризмом существует мнение, что эффективным методом борьбы с террористическими организациями является перекрытие источников их финансирования. Борьба с финансированием терроризма стала важнейшим инструментом противодействия этому опасному явлению. Цель данной статьи — дать представление о том, как террористические организации собирают и используют финансовые средства.

Terrorism financing has become a threat to humanity and democracy in Africa. Most terrorist organizations in Africa need money to carry out their massacre activities, which threatens African democracy, political stability, and economic development. The wave of terrorism activities and terrorism financing in Africa have remained a major cause for concern. The pervasive widespread of terrorist attacks seem to have defile all situations. Apparently, in Nigeria, terrorist attack reports have become a daily menu. The lethal killings by Boko Haram in Nigeria can be likened to the era of the Nigerian Civil war. This paper therefore, compares and contrasts the terrorism financing vis-à-vis the nascent democracy in Africa with a focus on Nigerian cases of Boko Haram. Terrorism financing misrepresents democratic growth and economic development in Africa, which brought about a rise in terrorist widespread and negative financial growth and progress in Nigeria and Africa. The multi-dimensional of terrorist financing has brought difficulties to trace terrorist funds due to legitimize illegal sourcing of funds to terrorist accounts. The paper finds that the current wave of terrorism financing have made African democracy unstable and pathetically feeble.

Full textAbstract:
In the modern world there is an active financial interaction of organized crime and terrorism (extremism). In some cases, transnational criminal organizations specializing in common crimes are becoming sponsors of terrorist and extremist organizations. More often, however, transnational terrorist and extremist organizations in search of income begin to actively participate in transnational criminal activities of a common criminal nature (drug trafficking, illegal money transfer). The article outlines the main regularities of the intertwining of criminal crafts and terrorist (extremist) activities, connected mainly with the ideas of radical Islam (Islamism). Specific examples of the activities of Russian law enforcement agencies in suppressing the financing of terrorism in the 2010s are given. It is concluded that in the coming years, Russia will be bringing closer and intertwining such institutions as Islamist terrorism, legal and illegal migration from Central Asia, smuggling of drug trafficking and criminal financial transactions (hawala).

Terrorism financing is required both to fund terrorist attacks and to develop and to maintain the terrorist organization and also to create an environment to sustain their activities. Terrorist organizations raise funds through a variety of sources around the world and move these funds between jurisdictions. These funds provide the interchangeable, easily transportable means to secure all other forms of material support. The variety of funding sources depends on the scale and centralization level of terrorist organizations. Selecting any of financing sources requires the consideration of advantages and disadvantages of them. The article describes the categories of terrorist funding sources and what criteria is considered to select the fund.

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to propose solutions for improving internal controls and transparency to alleviate concerns of international community over alleged linked with terrorist groups. Design/methodology/approach – The authors explore the counter-insurgency theory and political process model to explain the current state of counter-terrorism activities aimed at Islamic NGOs after 9/11. Findings – The authors believe the idea of money flow disruption to be of greater importance than freezing the accounts to suppress terrorism financing. Practical implications – Islamic NGOs established for philanthropic and humanitarian aid in third world Muslim countries have been accused of being involved in terrorism financing. This revelation is to the disadvantage of the donors who do not channel their donations for such activities. The authors propose risk management framework useful at operational level to detect and prevent welfare activities financing warfare activities. Originality/value – The proposed risk management framework is to complement various regional and international initiatives championed by Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering and Financial Action Task Force to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

Full textAbstract:
Pakistan is facing great challenges of terrorism which have posed serious threats towards integrity and stability of the country. It is unanimously agreed that finance serves as lifeline for execution of terrorist activities. Terrorist groups generate funds through multiple sources and transfer them by exploiting the loopholes existing in financial system. Despite, Pakistan has taken sufficient steps to counter the financing of terrorism (CFT), nonetheless, money is still transmitting due to some regulatory flaws of the financial system. Owing to terrorist financing related deficiencies, Pakistan has been placed on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) “Grey list”. FATF has warned Pakistan to be blacklisted if precipitate actions to address TF related deficiencies are not taken until February 2020. The paper evaluates the present CFT legal framework and recommends certain legal initiatives required to be taken by Pakistan prior dead line of February 2020.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes some aspects of the financial foundations of modern terrorism, considers sources of funding terrorist organization and movements, highlights the factors affecting the development of this phenomenon, presents the author´s view on the issue of "terrorist" finances. The authors substantiate that economic factors are the terrorism foundation, in this regard terrorist activity as an economic category is considered in two aspects: financing of separated terrorist acts and in general the terrorist ideology and practice. Some of the "traditional" options for the legalization of criminal incomes by terrorists are described. The specifics of terrorist economy as rule is that criminals for illegal activity usually get income in the form of cash. However, traditional use of cash for terrorist purposes in the current conditions takes second place and supplanted by developing non-cash financial instruments. The article distinguishes the financial and organizational factors that are favorable for terrorist activities, analyzes connection and interaction of terrorism and economic and financial spheres from the perspective of the "violent entrepreneurship" theory. Violent entrepreneurship is defined as a set of solutions and strategies, allowing to convert permanently an organized force in the cash income and other benefits that have market value. The authors offer the three-stage financial model of a terrorist attack. The first stage is advancement of political, economic and other requirements with the threat to paralyze the whole economic system of the country in case of their failure. The second stage includes demonstrational attack (or its threat) to a single economic structure and paralyzation of its actions. The third stage is repetition of requirements in a more rigid form relying on the effect of real or possible demonstration of force. In conclusion, the authors forecasts the future economic goals of global terrorism. Currently, the problem of financial and economic terrorism cannot be separated from the information, and in the future, information terrorism will focus on the global economy.

This article discusses the legal aspects of countering the financing of terrorism and extremism at the national and international levels. The economic basis for the activities of terrorist and extremist organizations is money, which in many cases is received from legalized shadow incomes. Therefore, the legalization of shadow incomes and the financing of terrorism and extremism are inseparable in the legislation of many countries and international law. This article discusses some national characteristics and international legal experience in countering money laundering and the financing of terrorism and extremism. The purpose of the present work is to analyze the possibilities of applying global experience in countering the activities of terrorist and extremist organizations by suppressing their financing and making it more difficult. The authors have examined legal acts and the opinions of researchers suggesting various methods of countering the financing of terrorism. The analysis of the above materials allowed the authors to conclude the need to use international experience to improve the legal framework for countering the financing of terrorism and extremism in Kazakhstan.

This article describes how the internet has come to play a central role in terrorist financing endeavours. Online channels allow terrorist financiers to network with like-minded individuals, in order to increase support, raise funds, and move wealth across the international system. For instance, the Islamic State, Hezbollah, and other groups have become adept at using these channels to finance their activities. Therefore, increased examination is required of the ways in which terrorists use the internet to raise and move funds. This study assesses some of the current trends and risks associated with online terrorist financing. Some policy options are also outlined, in order to reduce the threat of terrorist financing via the internet moving into the future.

Full textAbstract:
Вопросы борьбы с терроризмом и особенно с финансированием террористической деятельности всегда имели первостепенное значение в работе спецслужб и всех правоохранительных органов мирового сообщества. Особенно успешной представляется работа российской правоохранительной системы. В 2019 г. в Российской Федерации предотвращено 57 преступлений террористического характера, в том числе 34 теракта. В результате работы спецслужб нейтрализовано 32 преступника, из них девять главарей террористических группировок, а всего за 2019 г. задержаны 41 главарь, 241 боевик и 606 пособников террористов. В период подготовки статьи стало известно, что 4 марта 2020 г. сотрудники спецслужб разоблачили террористическую ячейку в г. Тверь, 22 марта 2020 г. ликвидировали боевика, который планировал совершить террористический акт в Башкирии, 27 марта 2020 г. органами ФСБ в Краснодарском крае задержан 27-летний россиянин, у которого обнаружено и изъято взрывное устройство, а в его смартфоне обнаружена переписка с членами запрещенной в РФ группировки «Исламское государство». Возможность осуществлять террористическую деятельность напрямую зависит от ее финансирования, а поэтому спецслужбы уделяют особое внимание перекрытию каналов финансирования терроризма. Так, в начале 2019 г. УФСБ по Краснодарскому краю пресечен масштабный канал финансирования терроризма, организованный членами так называемого «Краснодарского джимада». Пособниками террористов был осуществлен перевод денежных средств в размере более 10 млн р. на счета, используемые террористической организацией «Исламское государство». В состав преступной группы входили жители Краснодарского края, республик Дагестан, Северная Осетия, граждане Азербайджана. Перечисленные примеры говорят о необходимости обобщать и распространять опыт спецслужб Российской Федерации, и особенно находящихся на Северном Кавказе, по перекрытию каналов финансирования террористической деятельности и борьбе с терроризмом. В предлагаемой статье мы рассматриваем финансовые истоки международной террористической деятельности на Северном Кавказе, а именно основные черты и особенности преступного финансирования первого в мире террористического государства «Ичкерия» на территории Чеченской республики. К сожалению, исторический опыт и уроки борьбы с международным терроризмом Российской Федерации до сих пор не усвоен ее зарубежными партнерами, что повлекло в дальнейшем создание еще более мощного террористического государства на территории Ирака и Сирии. The fight against terrorism, especially terrorist financing, has always had a high priority in the work of the special services and all law enforcement agencies of the world community. The work of the Russian law enforcement system seems to be particularly successful. In 2019 in the Russian Federation 57 of terrorist crimes were prevented, including 34 attacks. As a result of work of the security services 32 of the offender were neutralized, nine of which were leaders of terrorist groups, and in 2019 the total 41 gangleaders were arrested as well as 241 terrorist fighters and 606 accomplices of terrorists. During the preparation of the article, it became known that on March 4, 2020, the security services exposed a terrorist cell in the city of Tver, on the 22 March 2020 liquidated terrorist fighters who planned to commit terrorist acts in Bashkiria and on March 27, 2020 a 27-year-old Russian was detained by the FSB in Krasnodar region, an explosive device was discovered and seized. In his smartphone there was a correspondence with members of the «Islamic state» banned in Russia. The opportunity to carry out a terrorist activity is directly dependent on its funding, and therefore the security services are paying special attention to the overlapping of channels of financing of terrorism. So, in early 2019, the FSB in Krasnodar region prevented large-scale channel of financing of terrorism, organized by members of the so-called «Krasnodar jimad». Accomplices of terrorists were carried out the transfer of funds in the amount of 10 million rubles to the accounts used by the terrorist organization «Islamic state». The structure of the criminal group consisted of residents of the Krasnodar territory, the republics of Dagestan, North Ossetia, the citizens of Azerbaijan. These examples speak of the need to consolidate and disseminate the experience of special services of the Russian Federation, and especially those in the North Caucasus, to cut off the channels of financing terrorist activities and the fight against terrorism. In the present paper we considered the financial sources of international terrorist activities in the North Caucasus, namely the main features and peculiarities of criminal funding the world's first terrorist state «Ichkeria» on the territory of the Chechen Republic. Unfortunately, the foreign partners of Russian haven’t learnt its historical experience and lessons of the fight against international terrorism, which resulted in the further establishment of a more powerful terrorist state in Iraq and Syria.

Full textAbstract:
Symbole de protection des libertés individuelles, le secret bancaire est perçu par les profanes, avec le développement de la criminalité financière transfrontalière, comme étant un élément qui favorise les fraudes, le blanchiment de capitaux, le financement du terrorisme ainsi que l’évasion fiscale. L’analyse juridique de cette institution nous montre qu’elle est l’élément le plus important de la réussite des opérations ayant pour but les flux internationaux de capitaux, et un facteur qui stimule la réussite économique et la mondialisation. La réglementation et la régulation des flux internationaux de fonds par un certain nombre de législations éparses et variées modifie considérablement la notion du secret bancaire. Une des caractéristiques fondamentales de ce bouleversement est qu’il institue des liens entre les différents opérateurs qui interviennent dans le contrat. Le contrôle de cette opération pousse les Etats à mutualiser leurs efforts et à se mettre ensemble en vue de défendre leurs intérêts financiers respectifs à travers la lutte contre les flux de capitaux illicites. Par ailleurs, la défense de ces intérêts financiers entraine incontestablement la redéfinition substantielle des missions du banquier d’une part, notamment sa façon de percevoir la relation avec la clientèle, de recueillir et d’échanger des informations, ainsi que la coopération avec les autorités publiques et de contrôle internes et internationales. D’autre part, on note du fait de cet élargissement de missions du banquier, une extension des risques pénaux à l’égard de ce dernier. Cependant, la dilution du secret bancaire à l’échelle internationale tant pour des nécessités contractuelles, que pour les nécessités de la lutte contre la criminalité entraine des dérives importantes se manifestant à travers le manque de stratégies adaptées permettant d’éviter dangers et de réagir en cas d’atteinte aux droits de l’Homme. D’où la nécessité de redéfinir un nouveau cadre juridique qui permet non seulement de limiter les atteintes au secret bancaire et aux droits de l’Homme, mais aussi, oblige les différents intervenants dans la chaine des transferts internationaux de fonds, «de jouer aux mêmes règles du jeu», d’être tributaires de mêmes droits, et surtout des mêmes obligations. C’est à ce prix et à ce prix seulement, que le secret bancaire pourra être réhabilité en tant qu’institution fondamentaleThe regulation of the international flows of fund by a number of scattered and varied legislations modifies considerably the notion of the bank secrecy. One of the fundamental characteristics of this upheaval is that it establishes links between the various operators who intervene in the contract. The control of this operation urges States to mutualize their efforts and to put itself together to defend their respective financial interests through the fight against the illicit capital flows. Besides, the defense of these financial interest conduct unmistakably the substancial redefining of the banker on one hand, in particular the way it perceives the relation with the clientele, of collects and of exchanges information, as well as the cooperation with the public authorities and control internal and international. On the other hand, we note because of this extension of missions of the banker, an extension of the penal risks towards him

This chapter looks at the role and development of the Financial Action Task Force (FAFT). The FAFT was formally established at the G7 Summit in Paris in July 1989 by the Heads of State or Government of the G7 countries and the President of the European Commission. The main concern motivating the establishment of the FATF was the proliferation of drug production and drug-related activities, including the laundering of drug proceeds. The G7 leaders understood that decisive action at the national and international levels would be needed to deal with this concern. The chapter looks at how the FAFT has changed since its founding. Today, the objectives of the FATF are to set the international standard, and promote effective implementation of measures, for combating money laundering, financing of terrorism, and other related threats to the integrity of the international financial system. It works to generate the necessary political will to bring about national legislative and regulatory reforms in these areas. It also monitors the progress of its members in implementing necessary measures.

AbstractThe Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), while primarily a security organisation, has always included economic and human baskets or dimensions. Currently, the Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities operates in four main areas: (1) good governance and anti-corruption, (2) money laundering and financing of terrorism, (3) transport, trade and border-crossing facilitation, and (4) labour migration. This chapter addresses developments in Central Asia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union that are relevant to the third area of OSCE operations. The chapter’s focus is on the potential for the landlocked Central Asian countries to become land-linked, using improved transport connections between East Asia and Europe to promote economic development through export diversification and growth. Rail services across Central Asia improved considerably during the 2010s. They have been resilient, despite strained political relations between Russia and the EU since 2014, and rail traffic between Europe and China continued to increase in 2020 despite the shock of COVID-19. Further infrastructure improvements are promised under China’s Belt and Road Initiative. However, the expanded network has been little used by Central Asian producers to create new international trade, and the improved infrastructure represents a potential opportunity rather than a past benefit. If the Central Asian economies are successful in taking advantage of the opportunity, it will stimulate their trade across the Eurasian region and help economic diversification. The main determinant of success will be national policies and national economic development. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the role of multilateral institutions and, in particular, the prospects for OSCE collaboration with existing fora to promote cooperation and economic development in Central Asia.

The modern financial system has continuously been traumatised by money laundering and terrorism financing. This is partly because it is a concept that revolves around the complex relationship between money and crime. The challenges posed by these menaces have become a phenomenon that the world has ceaselessly looked for means to address. Yet launderers and terrorists continue to perfect methods of perpetuating their illegal activities, while the havoc created by the menace of these crimes are enormous and remains unquantifiable in term of the actual estimate. Interestingly, Maqasid al Shari'ah has caught the attention of several Muslim scholars as a useful tool that can resolve several contemporary issues. Consequently, examining the relevance of Maqasid al Shari'ah which is the basis of Islamic Finance on money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT) is desirable. The focus of this chapter, therefore, is to examine the relevance of Maqasid al Shari'ah in the fight against the menace of money laundering and terrorism financing

In this chapter, the authors explore the operational data related to transactions in a financial organisation to find out the suitable techniques to assess the origin and purpose of these transactions and to detect if they are relevant to money laundering. The authors‘ purpose is to provide an AML/CTF compliance report that provides AUSTRAC with information about reporting entities‘ compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006. Their aim is to look into the Money Laundering activities and try to identify the most critical classifiers that can be used in building a decision tree. The tree has been tested using a sample of the data and passing it through the relevant paths/scenarios on the tree. The success rate is 92%, however, the tree needs to be enhanced so that it can be used solely to identify the suspicious transactions. The authors propose that a decision tree using the classifiers identified in this chapter can be incorporated into financial applications to enable organizations to identify the High Risk transactions and monitor or report them accordingly.

Full textAbstract:
Cryptocurrencies often also serve money laundering activities, terrorist financing, tax evasion, and other illegitimate activities with a market value of more than 7 billion euros across the globe, though the total amount is hardly measurable. Indeed, the blockchain technology involves many virtual currencies, including bitcoin, to conduct various financial transactions related practices throughout the world economies. Besides, other blockchain applications are making positive contributions to a wide array of other industries including healthcare, supply chain, manufacturing, etc. This technology which constitutes the backbone of digital assets transactions currencies is characterized by anonymity, privacy, security, and speed. In this sense, for tax administration authorities, detection of financial fraud and regulations with respect to taxation of virtual transactions pose newer emerging challenges. This chapter aims to examine the blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoin, and look into regulations by world governments to combat tax evasion and illegal transactions.

In the war against terrorist enemies, the United States currently is using a traditional defensive approach: engaging in formal military ground battles with adversaries such as al-Qaeda. By conducting a formal military operation, powerful military forces ideally should defeat terrorists, break up terrorist cells, remove their home bases, disperse leaders, and severely degrade the terrorist groups’ ability to wage attacks against the United States. A traditional military war normally involves two parties with known geographical locations and concentrated battle areas. A victory occurs when an enemy is defeated. However, the war on terrorism represents an opposite situation: without geographic concentration. Modern terrorists operate across national borders and have access to funding and advanced technology with global reach. Terrorists such as al-Qaeda lack geographic homes, which mean the battlefield is geographically dispersed. Furthermore, in addition to using conventional weapons, they increasingly use modern information technology, particularly the Internet, to wage their battles. They ride the back of the Web and use advanced communications to distribute their thoughts or views, gather support, recruit new members, and move immense financial funds from one place to another. According to Weimann (2006), many terrorist groups have their own Web sites on the Internet, which they use to teach their members to prepare computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, sniffers, and other malicious programs that multiply and cause potentially severe damages. They thus consider the capabilities of the Web as offensive mass weapons that can undermine worldwide actions. The modern Internet penetrates all levels of society, such that information flows continuously and seamlessly across political, ethnic, and religious divides. Because of the global nature of cyberspace, it provides a new platform on which terrorists can wage battles. In this chapter, we examine the role of the Internet as a battlefield and analyze the course of war in cyberspace. We model the Internet structure and determine that the Internet needs a self-immunization mechanism that can self-detect illegal or criminal activities online.

Full textAbstract:
The financing of terrorism, as an illegal criminal act, was first proposed at the international level in the United Nations Declaration of 1994. The idea was further developed in United Nations Security Council Resolution No. 1373 adopted in 2001. This document obliged all member states of the UN Security Council to introduce into their criminal legislation norms governing prosecution for activities related to the provision or collection of funds to finance terrorism. This study aims to analyze the corpus delicti of terrorist financing and investigate the need to introduce this article into the legislation of the Russian Federation. Modern times are characterized by the high growth of terrorist crimes, involvement in terrorist groups, and financing this criminal activity. The problem of combating terrorism is international. Countering this phenomenon and strengthening international cooperation to maintain the rule of law and legal order has been relevant for the past few decades. The authors of the research work consider the obligations of the Russian Federation arising from the requirements of the international community and the international legal framework. International cooperation allowed to establish the official recognition of the financing of terrorism at the legislative level as criminal and punishable.

Full textAbstract:
The assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing risks is conducted at the supranational and national level, including risk factors and risk variables. Based on the mentioned, the accounting profession is required to provide risk assessments at the level of obliged entities, which results in suspicious transactions reports. The number of suspicious transactions reported in the Republic of Croatia, as well in the world, is notably small, which speaks in favor of insufficient awareness of the threats posed by such conduct. The susceptibility of the accounting profession to illegal actions through the possibility of adjusting financial statements within the framework of creative accounting is evident, while due to non-compliance with legal regulations, unprofessionalism, and unethical needs, there is a need for forensic accounting. The peculiarities of the accounting profession support its ambiguous role in the detection of money laundering and other illegal activities, however, such measures are always implemented a posteriori.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the impact of terrorism on the Turkish financial market using daily data from Jan 4, 1988 to May 24, 2016. In order to measure the impacts of terrorist attacks in Turkey we test for causality from terrorism index to returns and volatilities of 3 aggregate and 16 sector level stock indices using a recently developed nonparametric causality-in-test test of Balcilar et al. (2016). The results obtained indicate that there is no causality from terrorist activities to stock market returns (1st moment). However, we find significant causality at various quantiles from terrorist activates to volatility (2nd moment) of tourism, food and basic materials sectors.

Full textAbstract:
For at least a decade, States, humanitarian bodies, and civil-society actors have raised concerns about how certain counterterrorism measures can prevent or impede humanitarian and medical activities in armed conflicts. In 2019, the issue drew the attention of the world’s preeminent body charged with maintaining or restoring international peace and security: the United Nations Security Council. In two resolutions — Resolution 2462 (2019) and Resolution 2482 (2019) — adopted that year, the Security Council urged States to take into account the potential effects of certain counterterrorism measures on exclusively humanitarian activities, including medical activities, that are carried out by impartial humanitarian actors in a manner consistent with international humanitarian law (IHL). By implicitly recognizing that measures adopted to achieve one policy objective (countering terrorism) can impair or prevent another policy objective (safeguarding humanitarian and medical activities), the Security Council elevated taking into account the potential effects of certain counterterrorism measures on exclusively humanitarian activities to an issue implicating international peace and security. In this legal briefing, we aim to support the development of an analytical framework through which a State may seek to devise and administer a system to take into account the potential effects of counterterrorism measures on humanitarian and medical activities. Our primary intended audience includes the people involved in creating or administering a “take into account” system and in developing relevant laws and policies. Our analysis zooms in on Resolution 2462 (2019) and Resolution 2482 (2019) and focuses on grounding the framework in respect for international law, notably the U.N. Charter and IHL. In section 1, we introduce the impetus, objectives, and structure of the briefing. In our view, a thorough legal analysis of the relevant resolutions in their wider context is a crucial element to laying the conditions conducive to the development and administration of an effective “take into account” system. Further, the stakes and timeliness of the issue, the Security Council’s implicit recognition of a potential tension between measures adopted to achieve different policy objectives, and the relatively scant salient direct practice and scholarship on elements pertinent to “take into account” systems also compelled us to engage in original legal analysis, with a focus on public international law and IHL. In section 2, as a primer for readers unfamiliar with the core issues, we briefly outline humanitarian and medical activities and counterterrorism measures. Then we highlight a range of possible effects of the latter on the former. Concerning armed conflict, humanitarian activities aim primarily to provide relief to and protection for people affected by the conflict whose needs are unmet, whereas medical activities aim primarily to provide care for wounded and sick persons, including the enemy. Meanwhile, for at least several decades, States have sought to prevent and suppress acts of terrorism and punish those who commit, attempt to commit, or otherwise support acts of terrorism. Under the rubric of countering terrorism, States have taken an increasingly broad and diverse array of actions at the global, regional, and national levels. A growing body of qualitative and quantitative evidence documents how certain measures designed and applied to counter terrorism can impede or prevent humanitarian and medical activities in armed conflicts. In a nutshell, counterterrorism measures may lead to diminished or complete lack of access by humanitarian and medical actors to the persons affected by an armed conflict that is also characterized as a counterterrorism context, or those measures may adversely affect the scope, amount, or quality of humanitarian and medical services provided to such persons. The diverse array of detrimental effects of certain counterterrorism measures on humanitarian and medical activities may be grouped into several cross-cutting categories, including operational, financial, security, legal, and reputational effects. In section 3, we explain some of the key legal aspects of humanitarian and medical activities and counterterrorism measures. States have developed IHL as the primary body of international law applicable to acts and omissions connected with an armed conflict. IHL lays down several rights and obligations relating to a broad spectrum of humanitarian and medical activities pertaining to armed conflicts. A violation of an applicable IHL provision related to humanitarian or medical activities may engage the international legal responsibility of a State or an individual. Meanwhile, at the international level, there is no single, comprehensive body of counterterrorism laws. However, States have developed a collection of treaties to pursue specific anti-terrorism objectives. Further, for its part, the Security Council has assumed an increasingly prominent role in countering terrorism, including by adopting decisions that U.N. Member States must accept and carry out under the U.N. Charter. Some counterterrorism measures are designed and applied in a manner that implicitly or expressly “carves out” particular safeguards — typically in the form of limited exceptions or exemptions — for certain humanitarian or medical activities or actors. Yet most counterterrorism measures do not include such safeguards. In section 4, which constitutes the bulk of our original legal analysis, we closely evaluate the two resolutions in which the Security Council urged States to take into account the effects of (certain) counterterrorism measures on humanitarian and medical activities. We set the stage by summarizing some aspects of the legal relations between Security Council acts and IHL provisions pertaining to humanitarian and medical activities. We then analyze the status, consequences, and content of several substantive elements of the resolutions and what they may entail for States seeking to counter terrorism and safeguard humanitarian and medical activities. Among the elements that we evaluate are: the Security Council’s new notion of a prohibited financial “benefit” for terrorists as it may relate to humanitarian and medical activities; the Council’s demand that States comply with IHL obligations while countering terrorism; and the constituent parts of the Council’s notion of a “take into account” system. In section 5, we set out some potential elements of an analytical framework through which a State may seek to develop and administer its “take into account” system in line with Resolution 2462 (2019) and Resolution 2482 (2019). In terms of its object and purpose, a “take into account” system may aim to secure respect for international law, notably the U.N. Charter and IHL pertaining to humanitarian and medical activities. In addition, the system may seek to safeguard humanitarian and medical activities in armed conflicts that also qualify as counterterrorism contexts. We also identify two sets of preconditions arguably necessary for a State to anticipate and address relevant potential effects through the development and execution of its “take into account” system. Finally, we suggest three sets of attributes that a “take into account” system may need to embody to achieve its aims: utilizing a State-wide approach, focusing on potential effects, and including default principles and rules to help guide implementation. In section 6, we briefly conclude. In our view, jointly pursuing the policy objectives of countering terrorism and safeguarding humanitarian and medical activities presents several opportunities, challenges, and complexities. International law does not necessarily provide ready-made answers to all of the difficult questions in this area. Yet devising and executing a “take into account” system provides a State significant opportunities to safeguard humanitarian and medical activities and counter terrorism while securing greater respect for international law.
