CTED facilitates national workshop on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing in Nepal

 

On 6-8 February 2017, the UN Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) facilitated a national workshop for judges, prosecutors, and investigators in Nepal. Held in Kathmandu, the workshop focused on the National Judicial Academy’s new manual on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing (AML-TF). The manual outlines recent amendments to Nepal’s AML-TF legislation, and is the culmination of a multi-year project amongst the National Judicial Academy, CTED, and the Global Center on Cooperative Security.
