The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) establishes international standards for combating terrorist financing and money laundering. Its 40 Recommendations and Mutual Evaluation process form the backbone of global counter-terrorism finance (CTF) compliance. FATF's grey and black lists have substantial coercive power over member states.
The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) is India's primary counterterrorism statute. Originally enacted in 1967 to address separatist movements, it has been substantially amended in 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2019. The 2019 amendment, controversially, empowered the government to designate individuals (not only organisations) as terrorists without judicial pre-approval.
