Terrorism Financing On 28-30 October 2014, TNTD/ATU and the Global Center on Cooperative Security (Global Center), in consultation with the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (UNCTED), and with the support of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of Slovakia, organized a regional workshop in Bratislava titled “Regional Workshop on Supporting the Prevention of Abuse of Non-Profit Organizations for the Financing of Terrorism”. Around 70 experts from different national structures dealing with the prevention of terrorism financing and representatives of non-profit organizations from 18 participating States and Partners for Co-operation, as well as from a number of international organizations, discussed issues related to the protection of non-profit organizations from abuses for the purpose of financing terrorist organizations in light of the revised Recommendation 8 and the recently published typology report of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The workshop was a follow-up to the 2009 OSCE Public-Private Expert Workshop on Preventing the Abuse of Non-Profit Organizations for Financing of Terrorism. It also built on the experience gained in the framework of a multi-year project implemented by UNCTED and the Global Center in 2011-2013 on behalf of the Working Group on Tackling Financing of Terrorism of the UN Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF). All these prior activities aimed to develop a common understanding of sound practices to counter the risk of terrorism financing through the non-profit sector. ****** 42
