Financial Action Task Force Recommendations

Anton Moiseienko

Chapter 25 in Elgar Encyclopedia of International Sanctions, 2025, pp 87-89 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Since 1990, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has published non-binding but influential 40 Recommendations that shape global responses to money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing. These Recommendations require effective implementation of United Nations (UN) sanctions against terrorist financing and proliferation financing. They also require states to take measures that may facilitate the enforcement of unilateral (autonomous) sanctions, including the prosecution of sanctions evaders and the confiscation of property involved in sanctions evasion. The unique influence of the FATF Recommendations is owed to its mutual evaluation process, including the ‘greylisting’ and ‘blacklisting’ of non-compliant jurisdictions.
