ABSTRACT

Post 9/11, the global security dynamics have considerably changed. Combating terrorism at the global level with a hybrid approach became a priority. Besides politico-military approaches, numerous models were deployed to counter terror financing. Pakistan's contribution as a frontline state in the war on terror has been of great value at the global level. Its successes in counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations, from the former FATA region to Karachi have set an unprecedented example and have received recognition at the international level. Keeping in view the loopholes in ATA and other laws, several laws have been passed and measures taken by Pakistan to counter terror and terrorism financing in the region. Measures and practices are taken to prevent the flow of terrorism funding, and how Pakistan is countering terror financing and organised crime by engaging with national and regional partners.
