    [email protected] www.fatfplatform.org Input of Global NPO Coalition on FATF to the UN Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact Working Groups on Criminal Justice, Legal Responses and Countering the Financing of Terrorism and Promoting and Protecting Human Rights and the Rule of Law while Countering Terrorism and Supporting Victims of Terrorism 13 November 2020 Introduction The Global NPO Coalition on FATF (Coalition) appreciates this opportunity to provide input to the Working Groups on the timely and important questions presented in the Call for Input. The Coalition is a network of diverse nonprofit organizations (NPOs) that advocates the effective, risk-based implementation of FATF Recommendations affecting NPOs, particularly Recommendation 8 (R8). Since 2014, the Coalition has brought together NPOs from around the world to address FATF-related issues. It established a constructive relationship with the FATF Secretariat, enabling transparent engagement. Most notably, in 2016 this engagement resulted in revision of R8 and update of the accompanying guidance documents. Both the FATF standards and UN Security Council Resolution 2462 (SCR 2462) state that CFT measures should be consistent with States’ obligations under international human rights law (IHRL) and international humanitarian law (IHL). The Coalition supports development of guidance to help States implement this mandate. Much needs to be done to achieve this goal, as evidenced by the findings in the 3 June 2020 UN report1 on implementation of UNSC Res. 2462. In summarizing the 112 responses to survey questions regarding IHRL, the report notes that fewer than 60 percent of States answered these questions, with even fewer describing concrete measures taken.

  • UN Monitor: COVID-19 Round-Up on Human Rights - 20-04-2020
    UN Monitor: COVID-19 Round-Up on Human Rights - 20-04-2020 The global impact of the COVID-19 crisis and the responses have raised a wide range of human rights concerns. UN human rights experts and the UN High Commissioner have spoken out, collectively and individually, issuing statements covering the full range of civic, political, economic and cultural rights. These can be found on the UN OHCHR website: https://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/SP/Pages/COVID-19- and-Special-Procedures.aspx Ms. Michele Bachelet, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has issued a statement saying: “Instead of taking action to increase the health response, some leaders are seeking to capitalize on people’s fear of COVID-19 by deflecting anger toward vulnerable communities like migrants—people already unfairly blamed for society’s ills.” Read more … A group of over 60 UN Special Procedures experts urged States to assist without exception to all during these times of COVID crisis and reminded that everyone has right to life-saving interventions. Read more... A group of 26 UN human rights experts have urged States to avoid overreach of security measures in their response to the coronavirus outbreak and reminded them that emergency powers should not be used to quash dissent. Read more… A group of 57 UN human rights experts have expressed grave concern at the multiplication of accounts of police killings and other acts of violence within the context of COVID-19 emergency measures. Read more... Mr. Juan Pablo Bohoslavsky, the UN Independent Expert on foreign debt and human rights, urged States to increase spending that targets inequalities and poverty caused by the COVID-19 crisis, and not just bail out corporations, banks and investors without human rights or social conditions attached.
