Washington DC - May 23, 2023: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact issued the following statement:

当地时间2023年5月23日，华盛顿特区发布。本日，国际货币基金组织（IMF）和“联合国全球反恐协调契约”发布声明如下：

The IMF joined the United Nations Global Counter - Terrorism Coordination Compact at a High-Level event on “Enhancing global cooperation on countering the financing of terrorism.”

国际货币基金组织参加了“联合国全球反恐协调契约”的一场关于“加强打击恐怖融资全球合作”的高级别活动。

Principals from the United Nations Office for Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT), the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) attended the event virtually and welcomed the IMF in its observer capacity at the staff level as the 46th entity of the Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact, the largest coordination framework within the UN system.

联合国反恐办公室（UNOCT）、反恐执行局（CTED）以及联合国毒罪办（UNODC）的负责人以远程方式出席了本次活动，欢迎国际货币基金组织以员工级别的观察员身份成为“全球反恐协调契约”这一联合国系统内最大协调框架的第46个实体。

“The International Monetary Fund is in a position to contribute significant expertise to the Compact’s efforts to address illicit financial flows derived from terrorism and other forms of criminality,” said Mr. Vladimir Voronkov, Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism and Chair of the Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact.

联合国反恐办公室主管反恐事务副秘书长兼“全球反恐协调契约”主席沃龙科夫（Vladimir Voronkov）先生表示，“国际货币基金组织能够为‘全球契约’解决恐怖主义和其他形式犯罪造成的非法资金流动问题提供重要的专业知识。”

Mr. Bo Li, Deputy Managing Director of the IMF highlighted that “Fighting terrorism and terrorism financing is a complex, multifaceted endeavor that requires effective cooperation across a broad range of institutions coupled with robust national frameworks that deny terrorists access to financial systems and hinder their ability to collect resources, plan, and carry out terrorist acts.” He underlined that “The IMF will be making full use of the United Nations Global Compact which will be an integral part of its Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) strategy.”

国际货币基金组织副总裁李波先生强调，“打击恐怖主义和恐怖融资是一项复杂的、多方面的努力，需要广泛机构间的有效合作，以及强有力的国家框架，来阻止恐怖分子进入金融体系，阻碍其收集资源、策划并实施恐怖行为的能力。”他强调，“国际货币基金组织将充分利用“联合国全球契约”，这将是其打击恐怖融资战略的一个组成部分。”

“UNODC, in its capacity as Chair of the Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact Working Group on Criminal Justice, Legal Responses and Countering the Financing of Terrorism, has ‘been advocating and supporting a joint response to the growing threat of terrorist financing,’ which has “become more sophisticated and transnational in nature,” said Ms. Ghada Waly, Executive Director of UNODC. “UNODC looks forward to joining our partners in putting the new tool into practice, supporting those working on the front lines to stop terrorists from acquiring funds,” Ms. Waly added.

毒罪办执行主任瓦利（Ghada Waly）女士表示，“作为‘全球反恐协调契约’刑事司法、法律对策和打击恐怖融资工作组（CJLR-CFT）的主席，毒罪办一直在‘倡导和支持对日益严重的恐怖融资威胁采取联合应对’，而这一威胁已经变得更加复杂和跨国。”她补充说，“毒罪办期待着同我们的伙伴们一道，将这一新工具付诸实践，支持那些在第一线阻止恐怖分子获取资金的人。”

On behalf of CTED, the Working Group’s Vice-Chair, Executive Director Ms. Natalia Gherman, echoed the warm welcome to the IMF as a new member of the Global Compact, and underscored that CTED remains committed to monitoring the terrorist financing threat Member States face and to facilitating timely technical assistance through its partners to address this threat effectively. “In this regard, close cooperation and coordination between our various entities is crucial, and the Global Compact provides a unique platform for us all. The IMF is one of the key providers of technical assistance and training to Governments, including in the area of CFT, and is an important partner when it comes to policy development and risk analysis,” noted Assistant Secretary-General Gherman.

执行主任盖尔曼（Natalia Gherman）女士代表作为工作组副主席的反恐执行局，热烈欢迎国际货币基金组织加入“全球契约”，并强调反恐执行局将继续致力于监测会员国面临的恐怖融资威胁，以及通过其伙伴来促进技术援助的及时提供，以有效应对这一威胁。盖尔曼助理秘书长指出，“在这方面，我们各实体之间的密切合作与协调至关重要，‘全球契约’为我们所有人提供了一个独特的平台。国际货币基金组织是向各国政府提供包括反恐怖融资领域在内的技术援助和培训的主要提供方之一，也是政策制定和风险分析方面的重要伙伴。”

At the event, the IMF presented its latest publication “Countering the Terrorism Financing: Good Practices to Enhance Effectiveness”. The book is intended to assist anti-money laundering and combating terrorism financing (AML/CFT) policymakers and practitioners in identifying key challenges and good practices for strengthening the effectiveness of counter terrorism financing frameworks.

在本次活动中，国际货币基金组织发布了最新出版物《打击恐怖融资：提高有效性的良好实践》。该书旨在协助反洗钱和反恐怖融资政策制定者和从业者确定强化反恐怖融资框架有效性的关键挑战和良好实践。

During the Expert-Level Panel Discussion on exploring ways to further enhance international cooperation on countering the financing of terrorism, UNOCT, IMF, CTED, UNODC, the 1267 Monitoring Team, the World Bank and the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units provided valuable insights on current trends in terrorism financing, remaining challenges and gaps in responding to this threat, and potential areas for further enhancing joint coordination.

在探讨如何进一步加强打击恐怖融资国际合作的专家级小组讨论期间，联合国反恐办公室、国际货币基金组织、反恐执行局、联合国毒罪办、1267委员会监测组、世界银行和埃格蒙特集团就恐怖融资的当前趋势、应对这一威胁方面的剩余挑战和差距、以及进一步加强联合协调的潜在领域提供了宝贵的见解。

The United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact, launched by the Secretary-General in December 2018, is the primary institutional vehicle for coherent and coordinated support to Member States in their implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. The United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism serves as the Secretariat of the Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact. Due to its expertise, the IMF joined the Counter-Terrorism Compact inter-agency Working Group on Criminal Justice, Legal Responses and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CJLR-CFT).

联合国秘书长于2018年12月启动的“联合国全球反恐协调契约”，是为会员国执行《联合国全球反恐战略》提供一致和协调支持的主要制度工具。联合国反恐办公室是“全球反恐协调契约”的秘书处。由于其专业知识，国际货币基金组织加入了“反恐契约”刑事司法、法律对策和打击恐怖融资机构间工作组。
