Enforcement of Targeted Financial Sanctions: The Military Role

Abstract

The United States is leading an international effort to disrupt the financial networks of terrorists groups in general and Al-Qaida's in particular. Disrupting Al-Qaida's money flow is key to reduce its capability to plan and execute future terrorist attacks. United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1373 and 1390 provide legal authority to block terrorist financial networks through a number of multilateral targeted financial sanctions. This SRP examines the role that military forces can and should play in enforcing targeted financial sanctions. This SRP concludes that military capabilities are critical during the first and most important step of financial sanction enforcing - identifying the targets.
