Doha: A training workshop on how countries apply sanctions under the United Nations Security Council resolutions 1267 and 1988 was held in Doha. The four-day workshop was organised by the Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force (MENAFATF), in collaboration with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the National Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Committee.
The workshop aimed to assist experts in better understanding the threats posed by terrorist financing and to effectively reduce those threats, and to consider how countries apply UN Security Council sanctions set forth in resolutions 1267/1989/2253 and 1988/2255, as part of the overall plan to disruption of funding networks for terrorism.
This workshop is part of a series of regional workshops hosted by the State of Qatar, and part of the MENAFATF training plan, which come in the framework of cooperation in capacity building for all professionals in the field of combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism in the member states.
