On Feb. 15, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) approved revised recommendations that largely duplicate the problematic Special Recommendation VIII for the nonprofit sector, focusing more on weapons of mass destruction, corruption and tax crimes. Published the same month, a report from the Transnational Institute and Statewatch, notes that the regulatory measures FATF recommends for nonprofits can and are being used by repressive governments to suppress nonprofits. The FATF is an international consortium of 36 countries that sets anti-terrorist financing and anti-money laundering standards used by 180 countries.
