The Guidance Note on ‘Ensuring Respect for Human Rights while Taking Measures to Counter the Financing of Terrorism’ provides practical and actionable recommendations to UN Member States, financial institutions, and other stakeholders to ensure that efforts to counter financing of terrorism (CFT) fully comply with international human rights law, international humanitarian law, and international refugee law. It provides human rights guidance in nine areas: defining terrorism financing offences; financial intelligence and information-sharing; terrorism financing investigations and prosecutions; targeted financial sanctions in the context of countering terrorism; impact of CFT measures on non-profit organizations; impact of CFT measures on exclusively humanitarian activities; gender impact of CFT measures; the nexus between terrorism financing and trafficking in persons; and the role and responsibilities of the private sector, including financial institutions.
