A two-day workshop on “Fight Against Financing of Terrorism While Ensuring Procedural Safeguards” was held in Ankara on 19 and 20 September 2022.
Close to 40 members of the judiciary, representatives from the Turkish Ministry of Justice, lawyers, and law-enforcement and other relevant financial institutions discussed issues concerning standards, challenges and perspectives to better fight terrorism related crimes, focusing on financing of terrorism. Participants had opportunity to exchange with lawyers and international experts on human rights standards ensuring safeguards in investigating and prosecuting these crimes. Enriching conclusions were reached during the case-studies discussions, particularly in the field of fair trial, legal assistance and right to private life.
This meeting was organised under the EU/CoE Joint Project “Strengthening the Criminal Justice System and the Capacity of Justice Professionals on Prevention of the European Convention on Human Rights Violations in Turkey”.
