The financial war on terrorism – the topic that we shouldn’t forget

Ryder, Nicholas

Abstract

This paper seeks to critically conside the effectiveness of the ‘Financial War on Terrorism’ on the funding streams of the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL). The paper highlights how the international community concentrated on tackling money laundering prior to the terrorist attacks in September 2001 and how this policy dramatically altered. In particular, this section concentrates on the development of and definition of the ‘Financial War on Terrorism’. The final part of the paper seeks to determine if the ‘Financial War on Terrorism’ is able to tackle the funding streams of ISIL.
