INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR SUPPRESSION

OF TERRORISM FINANCING

Preamble

The States Parties to this Convention

Having in mind the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations on the maintenance of international peace and security and the promotion of good neighborlination and friendly relations and cooperation between states,

Deeply concerned about the worldwide escalation of terrorist acts in all its forms and manifestations,

Relembrating the Declaration on the occasion of the Fifty Anniversary of the United Nations, contained in the resolution of the General assembly 50/6, of October 24, 1995,

Relating, still, all the relevant General Assembly resolutions on the matter, including resolution 49/60, of December 9, 1994 and its annex regarding the Declaration on Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism, in which the Member States of the United Nations solemnly reaffirmed their unequivocal condemnation of all terrorist acts, methods and practices, which they consider to be criminals and unjustifiable, independent of where and by whom committed, including those who compromise the relations of friendship between states and peoples and threaten the territorial integrity and security of states,

Noting that the Declaration on Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism has, as yet, encouraged states, to urgently revert to the scope of international legal provisions prevailing for the prevention, repression and elimination of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, with the purpose of ensuring the existence of a broad legal structure covering all aspects of the matter,

Relembrating the General Assembly resolution 51/210, of December 17, 1996, paragraph 3, inciso (f), in which the Assembly urged States to adopt arrangements to obstinate and neutralize, by means of appropriate internal measures, the funding, which direct or indirect, of terrorists and terrorist organizations by organizations that have, or aleidate, philanthropic, social or cultural purposes, or that are, still, engaged in illegal activities such as arms and drug trafficking and extortion, including the exploitation of persons for the purposes of financing terrorist activities and, in particular, to consider, when pertinent, the adoption of regulatory measures to hinder and neutralize moves of funds allegedly intended for terrorist purposes, without threatening, in any way, legitimate capital moves and, finally, to intensify the exchange of information on the movement of these funds,

Relaying, too, the General Assembly resolution 52/165, of December 15, 1997, in which the Assembly called on States to consider, in particular, the implementation of the measures set out in paragraphs 3 a) to (f) of its resolution 51/210, of December 17, 1996,

Relembrating, ademals, the resolution of the General Assembly 53/108, of December 8, 1998, in which the Assembly decided that the Ad Hoc Committee set up by the General Assembly resolution 51/210 of December 17, 1996, would be tasked with drawing up the minuta of an international convention for the suppression of terrorism financing, with a view to supplementing the international related instruments beams,

Whereas the financing of the terrorism is the subject of serious concern to the international community as a whole,

Noting that the number and severity of international terrorist acts depend on the funding that the terrorists come to obtain,

Observing, yet, that the prevailing multilateral legal instruments do not expressly address this funding,

Convinced that the pressing need to step up international cooperation between states in the planning and adopting effective measures to prevent the financing of terrorism, as well as for its suppression, by means of lawsuits and the punishment of its perpetrators,
