Expediency council has final say on Iran’s accession to CFT, Palermo convention
Considering that the Constitutional Council has expressed its view about those conventions, the final decision has been left to the discretion of the Expediency Council according to Iran’s legal system, Hadi Tahan Nazif added.
Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) involves investigating, analyzing, deterring and preventing sources of funding for activities intended to achieve political, religious or ideological goals through violence and the threat of violence against civilians.
The UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime was also adopted by the General Assembly resolution 55/25 in November 2000. It is known as the main international instrument in the fight against transnational organized crime. The convention opened for signature by member states at a high-level political conference convened for that purpose in Palermo, Italy, in December 2000.
