Pakistan: Tackling FATF Challenges & Solutions
by Huzaima Bukhari (Author), Dr. Ikramul Haq (Author), Abdul Rauf Shakoori (Author)

This book highlights critical areas of Pakistani laws meant to counter terrorist financing, money laundering, tax evasion, corrupt practices by public office holders and unscrupulous businessmen. It highlights various shortcomings in the existing anti-terrorism, anti-money laundering, tax and other laws, contradictory provisions and policies coupled with faulty strategy and lack of a comprehensive plan to uproot these menaces. It also suggests a new approach to tackle the threats posed by corruption, tax evasion; money laundering and terrorist financing that undermine Pakistan’s national security. Pakistan is one of the worst hit countries by terrorism, money laundering and tax evasion. There is sufficient evidence that militant groups working against the security and stability of the State have been generating huge funds through organized criminal activities and also getting generous “donations” from “sympathizers” in and outside Pakistan
