Abstract

Terrorism has grown tremendously in the last few decades and has become a serious threat to international peace and security. Determining the financial transactions of criminal and terrorist organizations is an important activity for the fight against terrorism. The study aims to clarify the use of informal value transfer systems and the measures that can be taken in the financing of terrorism and money laundering. The findings of this study are as follows; Following the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, informal value transfer systems came under pressure to regulate and control. Hawala, an alternative traditional remittance method often used by immigrant families to transfer money, has been found to be vulnerable to abuse by criminal organizations and terrorist groups. While making arrangements for the informal value transfer system, it is important that the service provision to those who use these systems is maintained without interruption. For this reason, it has been concluded that it is important to synchronize economic factors, development, prevention of crime and terrorist use in regulations for informal value transfer systems.

Özet

Terörizm son birkaç on yılda büyük bir gelişme kaydetmiş ve uluslararası barış ve güvenlik için ciddi bir tehdit haline gelmiştir. Suç ve terör örgütlerinin mali işlemlerinin tespiti, terörle mücadele için önemli bir faaliyettir. Yapılan çalışma, terörizmin finansmanı ve kara para aklamada gayri resmi değer transfer sistemlerinin kullanımını ve alınabilecek önlemleri açığa kavuşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın bulguları şunlardır: 11 Eylül 2001 terör olaylarını takiben, gayri resmi değer transfer sistemleri düzenleme ve denetleme baskısı altına girmiştir. Genellikle göçmen ailelerin para transferinde kullandıkları geleneksel alternatif bir havale yöntemi olan Hawala’nın suç örgütleri ve terörist gruplar tarafından istismara karşı savunmasız olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gayri resmi değer transfer sistemine yönelik düzenlemeler yapılırken, bu sistemleri meşru kullananlara hizmet sunumunun aksatılmadan sürdürülmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu nedenle gayri resmi değer transfer sistemlerine yönelik düzenlemelerde, ekonomik faktörler, kalkınma, suç ve terör amaçlı kullanımı engelleme hedeflerinin senkronize edilmesinin önem arz ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
