STATEMENT ON

Since June 2018, when Pakistan made a high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and APG to strengthen its AML/CFT regime and to address its strategic counterterrorist financing-related deficiencies, Pakistan’s continued political commitment has led to significant progress across a comprehensive CFT action plan, including by: demonstrating that law enforcement agencies are identifying and investigating the widest range of TF activity, demonstrating enforcement against TFS violations, and working to prevent the raising and moving of funds including by controlling facilities and services owned or controlled by designated persons and entities.

Pakistan should continue to work on implementing the three remaining items in its action plan to address its strategically important deficiencies, namely by: (1) demonstrating that TF investigations and prosecutions target persons and entities acting on behalf or at th direction of the designated persons or entities; (2) demonstrating that TF prosecutions result in effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions; and (3) demonstrating effectiv implementation of targeted financial sanctions against all 1267 and 1373 designated errorists, specifically those acting for or on their behalf.

The FATF takes note of the significant progress made on the entire action plan. To date, Pakistan has made progress across all action plan items and has now largely addressed 24 of the 27 action items. As all action plan deadlines have expired, the FATF strongly urges Pakistan to swiftly complete its full action plan before June 2021.

Iran is a significant player in Afghan internal affairs, presenting a sustained and long-term threat to its national security. The ability of Afghan institutions to identify and counter these threats needs to be improved. In particular, Afghan agencies need to significantly improve their strategic information capabilities. The Afghan National Security and Defence Forces (ANDSF) should continue to learn about Iranian operational and strategic objectives implemented through proxy groups such as the Fatemiyoun Brigade.

Now, Iran's agenda for Afghanistan might exceed soft power to include the use of the Fatemiyoun force, writes Kanishka Nawabi.

In Kashmir, An Indian Soldier’s ATM

Since July 2020, India has been grappling with a spate of stories that reveal a disturbing pattern: Indian soldiers staging fake gun battles to kill random Kashmiri men, collect prize money, and then bury the bodies in swelling mass graves. Kashmiri journalists have used this kill-for-cash scandal to compare Kashmir to an ATM machine that delivers money to Indian soldiers who continue to operate without impunity since 1947 in this disputed region.
