Sri Lanka strengthens anti-terror financing measures

Sri Lanka has strengthened its national security and counter-terrorism financing framework with renewed focus on Targeted Financial Sanctions (TFS), the Ministry of Defence said. These measures freeze assets, limit access to financial systems, and prevent designated persons or organizations from conducting financial activity in the country. Implementation follows UN Security Council Resolution 1373 (2001) under Regulation No. 01 of 2012 pursuant to the United Nations Act No. 45 of 1968.
