UN: CONCERNS OVER THE USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE EXPLOITATION, TRADE, AND TRAFFICKING OF NATURAL RESOURCES FOR THE PURPOSES OF TERRORISM FINANCING

This report from the UN Security Council Counter Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate dated June 2022 provides a brief summary of several actual and potential uses of revenues generated from the exploitation, trade, and trafficking of natural resources for the purposes of terrorism financing.  It says that the Committee has noted a disconnect between the level of concern expressed by policymakers and the actual level of proactive investigation and prosecution of cases aimed at establishing possible links between the types of crime in question and terrorism financing.  The report confirms the continuing need for States to develop the necessary procedures and tools and enhance the capacity of the relevant practitioners to detect and deter such links.
