During the international campaign to prevent and combat terrorism following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, cases were identified in which terrorists and terrorist organizations had used some NGOs to raise and move funds, to provide logistical support, and to recruit terrorists or otherwise to support terrorist organizations. In response to these facts, the FATF issued its 8th Special Recommendation in 2001, as a leading international standard to prevent the misuse of the non-governmental sector for terrorist financing. In the period 2002 to 2004, four humanitarian organizations from Bosnia and Herzegovina were identified for their support to terrorist organizations, and as such, they were designated and listed to the UN Security Council's 1267 list. The existence of a risk of abuse of NGOs in support of terrorism in Bosnia and Herzegovina was confirmed by the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Risk Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, which assessed that there is a medium-high level of risk in terms of abuse of the NGO sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding terrorism financing. The analysis of relevant laws and reports has revealed that there is an astonishing indifference of institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina to adequately respond to the requirements of FATF Recommendation 8. It can be concluded that, over the last 15 years, there has been negligible progress in legal and institutional framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of regulating the oversight of NGOs, which could be at risk of abuse for terrorist activities.
