Fatef Report of FATF seal on India’s claim, Pakistan is giving financing to state sponsored terrorism
Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir.
Financial Action Task Force (FATF): The July 2025 report of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an organization that monitors the funding of international terrorism, has opened up the state -sponsored terrorism of Pakistan. This report of FATF has strengthened the claim of India, in which it has been accusing the government and military of nourishing terrorists in Pakistan. The FATF has kept a strict eye on Pakistan for the first time by recognizing state -sponsored terrorism internationally. The FATF has asked to increase Pakistan’s surveillance based on the report.
Report confirmed state sponsored terrorism by Pakistan
The report has analyzed in detail the funding of terrorist groups active in Pakistan, the use of fake NGOs (Sham NOPOS), and the loss of restrictions. Along with this, state -sponsored terrorism has also been confirmed by Pakistan. The report has established the fact that some terrorist organizations are still receiving direct and indirect support from many states, specificly Pakistan. This includes facilities ranging from financial assistance to logistic, content and training, business-based money laundering to avoid restrictions and governance or visible cooperation.
FATF warns
FATF has warned that “If any state provides funds or resources to terrorist groups, it is a violation of its standards and international obligations”. Pakistan is particularly mentioned in this report as it has become the center of providing funds to state-sponsored terrorist groups, such as Lashkar-e-Taiyaba and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JEM).
FATF repeated India’s claim
In this report, FATF has reiterated the same claim of India in a way in which it has been accusing Pakistan of state -made terrorism and claiming to give financing and military training to terrorist organizations like Lashkar and Jaish. In FATF’s its country’s risk evaluation (ML/TF Risk Assessment 2022), India clearly identified terrorism sponsored by Pakistan. And FATF has repeated it globally. Due to this, the claims of India are stamped.
These terrorist activities of Pakistan identified
Missile devices sent by China around 2020 from Pakistan border were identified by FATF as dual-use delivery. FATF cited the financial network that ensured the Pak-involvement behind the terrorist attack in Pahgam in Jammu and Kashmir in April 2025.
Abuse of fake NGO (Sham Nys)
FATF reports explain how fake non-profit organizations are being used for groups associated with the Indo-Pak border. Groups such as Al-Rashid Trust and Al-Furquan Foundation were active in philanthropic proxy forms and hidden terrorist activities and provided economic support. At the same time, JEM and Lett misused humanitarian aid donation programs by establishing fake NOPOs in East Asian countries and turned money into terrorism operations.
Trade-based funds (TBML)
The report states that a strategy is being adopted to provide resources to the terrorists through some goods-based transactions. This includes transporting crude oil to an intermediary country and transporting it to gold, transporting it to the real destination. This trend weakens global financial transparency and suggests that there may be policy consent at the state level.
Danger for peace and security
FATF has said that such cases threatens international peace and regional stability. The report shows that the terrorist financing weakens the ban system and affects the “detect, deitter, dysorpt” (DDDS) structure adopted by FATF. It highlights the disability of employment -based systems created around global restrictions.
India and UN’s efforts appreciated
The FATF in its report appreciated the steps taken by India, United Nations and Western countries for action against terrorism. It has appreciated internal reforms such as anti-money laundering and anti-terror financing law. FATF said that permanent terror funding networks are still active.
FATF upset due to lack of action on terrorists like Masood Azhar and Sajid Mir
FATF has expressed displeasure over no action or arrest on terrorists like Pakistan’s major terrorists Masood Azhar, Sajid Mir and Hafiz Saeed. Many countries including India suggested to take Pakistan under strong surveillance by considering the FATF report as the basis. The FATF report now globally creates alerts that global cooperation is necessary to close channels such as fake NGOs, TBML. This report asks the states to implement reliable and transparent AML/CFT structure. This conflict is important from the point of view of regional political stability and global financial security.
