The protection of international peace and security, as well as the security of the financial system as a whole in the scope of money laundering and terrorist financing treats is assured in a new area of risk based approach, focusing on the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, enhanced risk-based approach, international co- operation, higher operational standards, measures to combat corruption, improved transparency of information about the beneficial ownership, trusts, and other legal persons or arrangements, tax crimes, and new payment methods. Among these treats it is crucial to emphasise recent significance of the proliferation of weapon of mass destruction and its financing. The need for criminalisation of the proliferation financing activity is the result of the fact that the movement and development of such items can contribute to global instability and pose the terrifying potential of inflicting mass casualties, if proliferation-sensitive items are deployed. Factors driving terrorists to use weapons of mass destruction can be viewed through consequences of their actions in terms of mass victims, disruption of normal life in cities, panic, confusion and distrust of governments when it comes to the protection of settlements from terrorist activities. Basic measures of its prevention are reflected in the implementation of the enhanced risk- based approach measures and efficient international co-operation, with the emphasis on the application of export control system regulations, regulatory reporting requirements, targeted financial sanctions, and trade sanctions at a national level.
