Abstract

The approach taken by international laws and standards to impede terrorism treats terrorist financing as another form (predicate crime) of money laundering. This approach justifies the integration of terrorist financing into money laundering counter-measures with an exaggerated focus on two inaccurate assumptions: terrorists’ involvement in criminal activities (especially organized crime), and utilising money laundering tools by terrorists to move their funds. Regarding the nature and characteristics of terrorist financing, this paper aims to examine whether from a factual standpoint, it is sufficiently reasonable to address the suppression of terrorist financing by analogy with money laundering.
