What is Anti-Money Laundering in Belarus?
=====================================================
A new project has been launched to strengthen measures against money laundering and terrorist financing in Belarus, as part of the European Union’s efforts to combat economic crime.
Overview
The project, funded by the EU and implemented through the Council of Europe, aims to enhance compliance with international standards and good practices in Belarus’ anti-money laundering (AML) institutional framework. This is one of six initiatives under the second phase of the EU/CoE Partnership for Good Governance programme, which supports Eastern Partnership countries in countering economic crime.
Background
While anti-corruption actions have been implemented in Belarus under the first phase of the programme, this project focuses specifically on strengthening measures to respond to money laundering and terrorist financing threats.
Objectives
The overall objective of the project is to enhance the compliance of Belarus’ institutional framework with international standards and good practices in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. To achieve this goal, the project aims to:
- Strengthen institutions involved in the fight against these crimes by developing their operational capacities
- Facilitate the adoption of good practices
Alignment
The project is aligned with the EU’s 2020 targets for strengthening the rule of law and anti-corruption mechanisms, as well as the Council of Europe’s cooperation priorities for Belarus.
