Abstract:
The increasing danger of terrorist acts and their financial foundation in the contemporary world present significant challenges to the global community in maintaining worldwide security. International organizations play a crucial role in devising and executing counter-terrorism strategies and suppressing financial backing for terrorist groups. This article explores the vital function of international entities in combating terrorism and the funding of terrorist activities. The authors analyse the mechanisms of cooperation between countries and international structures in ensuring global security. The text highlights the role of international organizations such as the United Nations (UN) and the EU in addressing terrorism. Cooperation and interaction of all stakeholders are deemed important for successful counteraction against terrorist groups and the prevention of financing their activities. The article aims to examine the role of international structures in countering terrorism and the mechanisms for curbing the financing of terrorist groups. It also analyses the main methods and strategies used by these organizations to achieve security goals. The paper employs analytical and comparative methods to study international counter-terrorism strategies. The material examines the role of major international actors, including the UN, the European Union, and Interpol, in identifying and disrupting financial flows that support terrorist organizations. It emphasizes the effectiveness of international entities in creating and executing counter-terrorism strategies. Analysing the methods of detecting and blocking financial flows enables us to identify current trends in countering terrorist activity. The study can provide a foundation for additional scientific and practical research in the area of countering terrorism and its financing on an international scale.
