Switzerland and efforts to combat the financing of terrorism
Jacques de Watteville
Abstract
Combating international terrorism has long been one of Switzerland's main concerns. Furthermore Switzerland has worked closely with other nations in combating terrorism and will continue to do so in future, both in the context of international treaties and on the basis of the law on mutual assistance in criminal matters. International co-operation to combat the financing of terrorism is taking place at several levels. The instruments for combating money laundering are also important for combating the financing of terrorism. Considering the various challenges, which have their origin in international terrorism, as well as the phenomenon of globalisation and certain technological developments, the strengthening of multilateral co-operation is indispensable.
