Abstract
This chapter considers some of the main drivers behind the current globalised approach to combating financial crime. It traces the history behind the current global anti-money laundering and counter terrorism and proliferation financing framework that emerged over the past decades. It considers in particular key United Nations conventions, United Nations Security Council resolutions and the role of the Financial Action Task Force and also regional initiatives, with a particular focus on Europe.
