  • Quistclose Trust Case Study

    964 Words  | 2 Pages

    A Quistclose trust arises when money is paid to a recipient for a specific purpose, if that purpose fails the money is held on trust for the payer. It mostly arises in insolvency cases where the proprietary rights have to be established. However, this type of trust has been thought to be inconsistent with the traditional trust principle. Many have suggested the Quistclose trust must be treated as any other fully fledged security device taking into account the protection it offers the payer on insolvency and should therefore be registrable. This essay critically analyses the concept of Quistclose trust, whether it differs from the resulting trusts.

  • Terrorism Financing Through Charities

    2029 Words  | 5 Pages

    It was not until the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that the US government began to crack down on the financing of terrorism. The passage of the USA Patriot Act in October 2001 was, in part, an attempt by the federal government to disrupt the financing of terrorism and the flow of laundering money. In addition to passing legislation that made it harder to launder money to terrorists, the USA Patriot Act attempted to crack down on non-profit organizations like charities and underground banking systems like “hawalas” (USA Patriot Act). Running a terrorist organization is not cheap, as these organizations must pay for personnel, training, operations, weapons, security, reparations to the families of slain freedom fighters and much more (Madinger, 280-2).

    The word terror dates back to the French Revolution. “A terrorist was, in its original meaning, a Jacobin who ruled France during la Terruer” (Moeller 20). Terrorism has clearly become much broader in the years since its origination. Since the concept was first birthed in France it has been used for separatist, nationalistic, political and religious ends, etc. In the book “Packaging Terrorism”, author Susan Moeller states that, “the goal of terrorism is to send a message, not to defeat the enemy”.

  • Terrorism in the 21st Century

    3445 Words  | 7 Pages

    The word terrorism was first used during the French Revolution from the reign of terror inflicted by the French from 1784-1804 ("International Affairs"). It was used to describe the violent acts perpetrated on the French that inflicted terror on the various peoples and instilled fear within them. However, at the time it had a more positive connotation than the term that instills fear today. During the French Revolution this was because it referred to state-sponsored terrorism in order to show the need of state instead of anarchy, sometimes promoted by other groups (Hoffman 2). Therefore, even though terrorism has taken a new nature, terrorism can refer to official governments or guerrilla groups operating outside national governments ("International Affairs"). In order to encompass terrorism’s various sectors and explain it to the public, in both positive and negative aspects, many analysts have tried to put it into a few words. Terrorism is a method used by tightly of loosely organized groups operation within states or international territories that are systematic in using deliberate acts of violence or threats in order to instill...

Without money laundering significant sums of legitimate money would be very hard to produce in the short spans of time between terrorist attacks and reorganization. The possibility of defeating such enormous amounts of illegal money laundering and illegal terrorist financing schemes would require a global effort. Every nation would have to establish anti-money laundering and terrorist financing legislation, along with support from the United Nations and groups such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on money laundering.

    The invention of money was a major improvement in peoples’ lives. In the past, people usually had to travel all day to find the person who is willing to exchange their goods. In addition, the goods people want to exchange did not have the standard value of measurement. This led to unequal exchanges. Furthermore, it is not convenient to carry heavy goods from one place to another for an exchange. To solve these issues, money will be the only solution. Later, people tend to develop money from cowry shells to credit cards for the convenience and to improve their society.
