Terrorist Financing Convention

The Terrorist Financing Convention, formally known as the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, is a global agreement to combat the funding of terrorism. Adopted by the United Nations in 1999, the convention aims to create a legal framework for countries to prevent, investigate, and prosecute individuals or groups that provide financial support to terrorist activities. By criminalizing the financing of terrorism, it enhances international cooperation and ensures that nations work together to cut off resources that could enable terrorist acts, ultimately enhancing global security and stability.
