The Financial War on Terrorism by Nicholas Ryder

The Financial War on Terrorism by Nicholas Ryder

This book defines and identifies the so-called financial war on terror. It provides a critical review of the impact of counter-terrorist financing strategies and measures in a number of jurisdictions including the US, the UK, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia. It also considers measures enacted by the UN, the Financial Action Task Force and the European Union and the Council of Europe.

'We feel the work offers a much-needed legal analysis of the measures enacted under the 'Financial War on Terrorism' and is a valuable resource for those researching in law, terrorism studies, criminal justice, and finance' - review by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers,UK on Amazon.co.uk.

'This is an authoritative comparative legal examination of the nature and effectiveness of the measures implemented globally within the context of the ‘Financial War on Terrorism’ since the attacks of 9/11. Specifically, the volume’s chapters discuss the measures introduced by multilateral organizations such as the United Nations (including the U.N. sanctions against terrorists and the operations of its anti-terrorist sanctions committee), the European Union and the Council of Europe, as well as the governments of the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Also discussed is a working definition of the ‘Financial War on Terrorism,’ and how the ‘Financial War on Terrorism’ has addressed the new threats presented by jihadist terrorist groups such as Boko Haram, Islamic State, and al Qaida. The author concludes that "it has proven extremely difficult for the international community and nation states to limit the sources of funding available to terrorists" because they "are able to manipulate an increasing array of sources of financing through a vast amount of legitimate and illicit financial channels." (p. 182).' - review by Joshua Sinai, Terrorism Research Initiative, http://www.terrorismanalysts.com/pt/index.php/pot/article/view/504/html
