Abstract

This paper utilises the existing framework for analysing international “soft law” measures to examine why 83% of Financial Action Task Force members are either non-compliant or partially compliant with Special Recommendation VIII (SR.VIII) on the prevention of terrorist financing through non-profits. The paper also considers whether SR.VIII is unique amongst other FATF Recommendations in terms of its low levels of compliance.
