Ahead of the U.S. #FATF Mutual Evaluation, @CharitySecurity submitted input examining how AML/CFT rules are affecting #NPOs. The report highlights growing concerns about politically driven, non-risk-based targeting and its impact on essential services.

#AML/#CFT rules are creating hurdles for climate and environmental #NPOs.

In their research for @milieudefensie, Floor Knoote and Annika van Baar show how #NPOs in 24 countries are faced with blocked transfers, delayed payments, and stricter regulations.

Coalition member @capsunlock_org sheds light on how #Kazakhstan’s implementation of #FATF Rec 8 is undermining civil society rather than protecting it. Despite no TF/ML links, NGOs face onerous reporting requirements, inspections, and frozen bank accounts. https://t.co/cNVuRN7HmK
