The Bill (Reg. No. 4309) was drafted
to enhance legislation appertaining to the suppression of the financing of
terrorism and to coordinate certain Laws of Ukraine with the International
Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism (1999) and other international legal acts.
The Bill provides for the adequate suppression of the financing of terrorist acts and organizations by means of implementing international standards into Ukrainian legislation.
Thus, the Bill supplements the Criminal Code of Ukraine with a new clause 258-5 that envisages criminal responsibility for the financing of terrorism.
