This book defines and identifies the so-called "financial war on terror". It provides a critical review of the impact of counter-terrorist financing strategies and measures in a number of jurisdictions as well as those enacted by international organizations.
The book analyses the measures introduced by the United Nations, including the UN sanctions against terrorists and the operation of its anti-terrorist sanctions committees. The 'Special Recommendations' of the Financial Action Task Force are also considered.
Detailed commentary of the counter-terrorist financing measures of the European Union and the Council of Europe is included. Particular attention is paid to the Framework Decisions on Combating Terrorism, the Council Common Positions on Combating Terrorism and the EU Anti-Terrorism Sanctions Regime.
