Overview

The financing of terrorism and its related activities may be ages old, however, formal directions to counter this threat is a relatively a new phenomenon.

The world witnessed unprecedented devastation in all its manifestations on 9/11 with an impact that was similar to that of aircraft crashing into the twin towers.

The war on CFT was formalized soon thereafter with the adoption of the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism.
