On March 28, 2019, the UN Security Council passed a resolution aimed at increasing efforts to counter and criminalize terrorist financing. Acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, the Council directed states to ensure that their domestic laws ensure the ability to prosecute, as serious criminal offenses, the provision or collection or funds or other resources with the intention or knowledge that they will be used to support terrorists or terrorist organizations. The Council determined that member states shall ensure domestic counter-terrorism measures are consistent with their obligations under international law and called upon states to conduct financial investigations into terrorism-related cases and to apply criminal sanctions to cases of terrorist financing where appropriate. As noted in the press release, the Council also “reaffirmed its resolution 1373 (2001)—adopted in the wake of the 11 September 2001 attacks in the United States—which requires all States to prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts and to refrain from providing support to those involved in them.”
