Countering the Financing of Terrorism: Law and Policy John M Geiringer ISBN 9781639051342

Since the attacks of September 11, countering the financing of terrorism has become a central priority for U.S. and international security efforts. As terrorist organizations and their methods continue to evolve, governments and the private sector alike have intensified efforts to prevent financial and commercial systems from being exploited to fund terrorist activity. This authoritative scholarly compendium brings together former senior government officials and leading experts from the private sector and academia to examine the legal frameworks and strategies used to disrupt and prevent terrorist financing.

Organized in a clear, logical progression, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the domestic and international legal architecture underpinning the global fight against terrorist financing. It explores both policy and practice, helping readers grasp the scope, complexity, and continuing evolution of this critical challenge.

Key topics include:

• Terrorist financing typologies and methods for identifying and combating them

• Domestic and international designation of terrorists and terrorist organizations

• Freezing and forfeiture of terrorist assets and related counterterrorism measures

• The role and responsibilities of financial institutions in detecting and preventing terrorist financing

• Criminal prosecutions and civil remedies targeting terrorists and their facilitators

• Legal authorities employed by the military and intelligence community

The guide is enhanced with detailed chapter appendices, charts, and graphs, along with an extensive table of cases, making it an invaluable reference for legal practitioners, policymakers, compliance professionals, and scholars engaged in counterterrorism and national security law.
