Terrorist Financing and Targeted Sanctions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 June 2025
This chapter focuses on two other key elements of the global financial crime regime beyond AML rules, namely CTF and targeted financial sanctions, and the challenges that they present. In particular, it discusses the shift from excluding criminal funds towards excluding specified persons themselves – be that designated terrorists or otherwise sanctioned persons – from the legitimate economy. The chapter first discusses the history of CTF measures and targeted sanctions. Then, it considers the challenges presented by targeted exclusion, which arise in the context of CTF as well as being inherent to the operation of targeted financial sanctions. Finally, the chapter parses out the difficult case of coerced payments, including criminal ransoms, terrorist ransoms and ransomware payouts.
