Legal Considerations and Challenges for Financial Intelligence and Enforcement Authorities against Terrorist and Proliferation Financing: A GCC Perspective (CFT)
May 4th to 8th, 2025
Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), targeted financial sanctions (TFS), and enforcement experts face significant challenges in combating terrorism and proliferation financing, primarily due to a lack of specialized knowledge and expertise. Many legal professionals may not have adequate training in financial crimes and terrorism financing, which hampers their ability to handle complex cases effectively. Furthermore, many judicial systems are not properly structured, or under-resourced, lacking the necessary tools, technology, and personnel to gather intelligence and take thorough enforcement action against these crimes. Coordination issues faced by various agencies also pose a challenge, as effective action requires seamless collaboration between law enforcement, financial institutions, FIUs, and the judiciary.
