چکیده:
FATF is an international body whose aim is to strengthen and promote international response in the field of combating money laundering. In October 2001, this body also expanded its mission to combat the financing of terrorism. FATF has issued the Forty Recommendations in the field of combating money laundering. These recommendations outline a fundamental framework for combating money laundering and have been designed and formulated for implementation on a global level. FATF monitors the progress of members in implementing anti-money laundering measures, examines and reports on money laundering methods and techniques, and encourages the adoption and implementation of anti-money laundering principles worldwide. Every FATF member country is politically committed to combating money laundering in accordance with the FATF Forty Recommendations. Monitoring the progress of members in following the Forty Recommendations is facilitated through a two-stage process: the self-assessment mechanism and the mutual evaluation mechanism. In order to encourage all countries in the world to adopt appropriate measures for the prevention, detection, and prosecution of money laundering—namely the implementation of the Forty Recommendations—FATF has, through a process, identified countries that act as obstacles in the path of international cooperation to combat money laundering.
خلاصه ماشینی:
"The minimum necessary conditions for a country to become a member of FATF are as follows: 1- At the political level, it must fully commit to implementing FATF recommendations within a reasonable timeframe (three years) and accept its own annual self-assessment and at least two rounds of mutual evaluation; 2- It must be an active member of "quasi-FATF regional bodies" or, in cases where such bodies do not exist, be prepared to establish them; 3- It must be a strategically important country; 4- It must have previously included the laundering of proceeds from drug trafficking and other serious crimes as a criminal offense in its domestic laws; 5- It must have required its financial institutions to perform customer identification and also report suspicious or unusual transactions.
Thus, it can be said that FATF, as the largest international institution responsible for combating money laundering, plays an essential and key role in the prevention and suppression of money laundering through the unification of various policies, measures, and actions, including the formulation and publication of various recommendations, monitoring the manner of implementing these recommendations, providing consultation and assistance to requesting countries, applying pressure to countries non-compliant with FATF, encouraging and supporting the establishment of quasi-FATF regional bodies, holding specialized conferences in different parts of the world, especially in areas that are most in need of assistance, and other similar measures.
Furthermore, many international institutions, including the United Nations, the Offshore Banking Observers Group (OGBS), the Asia-Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG), and the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), have requested member countries to implement FATF recommendations.
