“Furthermore, citizens must be aware of the actual sanctions to be applied, such as the seizure of capital, goods and assets of those listed. Such mechanisms have already begun to be implemented in Angola, based on information provided by the Financial Intelligence Unit. We think it is also important that all countries develop and speed up legal cooperation mechanisms and knowledge-sharing regarding such matters as the origin and destination of funds, as well as the implementation of restorative measures required by other foreign States.”

“However, we must extend the fight beyond institutions, countries and organizations. All citizens must feel socially responsible and be individually involved in fighting this phenomenon. In that context, it is worth strengthening the efforts of developed countries to approve the restructuring of national financial systems, as that proposed in the Group of 20 meetings, modelled after the Volcker Rule and the Dodd-Frank Act, approved in the United States Congress, designed to protect financial and non-financial institutions against the risks of exaggerated self-regulation, which led to the earlier financial crises of 2008 and 2009. Moreover, it is necessary to provide the mechanisms by which all citizens have access to, and knowledge of, the information on the United Nations sanctions lists.”

“On that basis, we believe that the best weapon against terrorism remains the eradication of its sources of financing. Getting rid ofthe sources of financing for terrorism is by far the more effective weapon. But in order to do so, a massive collective effort is required by all countries and organizations. Efficient mechanisms must be created to allow countries to control the origin and destination of funds that circulate internally and which, instead of being channelled towards investing in development, are in danger of being directed towards disseminating ideologies, extremism and political objectives that go against human rights under the democratic rule of law. That primarily affects those developing countries that have been recently recovering from the effects of the Cold War.”

“Apart from implementing the various laws against terrorism, money-laundering and illicit financial flows, as a country, Angola has made tremendous efforts to empower its institutions to detect and combat terrorism and its financiers. As a response to the worldwide appeals against this evil, which affects all of us, the proliferation of terrorist organizations, such as Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham and Boko Haram, is a major concern, as they end the lives of thousands and thousands of citizens across the world. We recognize that such terrorist organizations originate not only from erroneous religious ideologies, but they are strongly correlated with the sources of financing. That is what makes such organizations powerful and still more threatening.”

“I wish to point out that the Angola National Assembly regulation 38/10, adopted in 2010, approves the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. An anti-terrorism and money-laundering bill was adopted in Angola under law 12/ 10, and was later reinforced by law 34/11. Law l/l2 allows Angola to immediately apply resolutions of United Nations sanctions committees in order to prevent terrorism from benefitting from any form of financing. Under those regulations, we created a financial intelligence unit and a national designation committee, which are in charge of the centralizing and processing of all information concerning money- laundering and the financing of terrorism.”

“Like the United Nations, we will fight against it, for it is not a matter that solely concerns a single country or organization, but in fact affects all of the citizens of the world. In recent decades, extraordinary advances in information and technology have facilitated financial flows and communication among billions of people, among which are those who breach human rights through the misuse of social media and other communication tools. Angola's action against terrorism became effective in 1999, when parliamentary resolution 25/99 was adopted on preventing and fighting terrorism, which adopted the 1999 Organization of African Unity Convention on the Prevention and Combating of Terrorism. In addition, a number of other legal measures were put in place.”

“We fully support the initiative of the United States presidency and the co-sponsors to promote this meeting of the Ministers of Finance in the Security Council, as we believe it will contribute to the development of new and effective measures to achieve our common objectives in the fight against terrorism and money-laundering. The fight against terrorism is not a new concept. For some time now, many countries have been battling terrorism, which has taken the lives of many innocent men, women and children across the globe, while breaching fundamental human rights that are consecrated by the spirit and letter of the Charter of the United Nations. As a Member of the United Nations and various other international and regional organizations, Angola is still highly concerned about terrorism.”
