On 18 June, Sandler Travis Rosenberg reported that the air cargo industry may be able to mitigate the costs of compliance with a screening requirement that takes effect on 30 June under a new programme from the Transportation Security Administration.  From 30 June, International Civil Aviation Organization member states must ensure that 100% of international outbound air cargo transported on all-cargo aircraft is either screened to a level intended to identify and/or detect the presence of concealed explosive devices or transported under appropriate security controls throughout the cargo supply chain to prevent the introduction of concealed explosive devices.

On 18 June, Amnesty International reported that it had published a report and says that measures by Turkey to prevent terrorism financing abusively target civil society and set dangerous international precedent, and that its shameless exploitation of the findings of FATF to rush through a draconian new law targeting civil society organisations is a warning to the world that must be challenged,  It says that Law No 7262 on the Prevention of the Financing of the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction introduces new measures that violate the rights to freedom of association and expression, as well as internationally recognized fair trial guarantees.
