1 MIN READ
A workshop in Kyiv, Ukraine, on 14 and 15 May, provided a valuable opportunity to share information and experience on tackling the financing of terrorism. It was well attended by participants from Allied and Partner countries, as well as experts from the OSCE, academic institutions and the private sector.
The main areas of discussion were:
- new developments in the funding sources and methods of terrorist groups;
- relationships between the financing of terrorism and international organized crime;
- the economic and financial dimension of terrorist actions directed toward critical infrastructures;
- national and international measures against terrorist financing.
The event was co-organized by NATO's Defence and Security Economics Directorate and the State Committee for Financial Monitoring of Ukraine. It took place in the framework of the activities of the NATO-Ukraine Joint Working Group on Economic Security. NATO and Ukraine had agreed to open the workshop to other countries in the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council.
NATO is committed to support and facilitate information exchange on economic and aspects of financial aspects of terrorism as a building block for the development of policies and actions to combat this scourge. Enhancing national expertise in this area is also one of the key topics of cooperation set out in the Defence Economics chapter of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Work Plan.
