ПРОБЛЕМЫ ВНЕДРЕНИЯ КОНТРОЛЯ ЗА ФИНАНСИРОВАНИЕМ РАСПРОСТРАНЕНИЯ: ПОМОЩЬ ЭКСПОРТНОГО КОНТРОЛЯ

Abstract

This article explains why financial institutions struggle with implementing proliferation financing controls. The limitations that financial institutions face do not remove responsibility from them to do better, and there are steps they can take to strengthen their capacity to prevent and detect proliferation activities. Additionally, there is untapped potential for cooperation between financial institutions and other actors, including export control authorities. To date, proliferation financing controls have mostly been seen as an ‘add-on’ to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing measures. Looking at proliferation financing challenges as related to export control efforts can significantly improve the overall national capacity of a given country to minimize proliferation financing risks. In this article, proliferation financing controls refer to measures designed to prevent financing of WMD-related activities.
