Conflict financing refers to the funding that supports armed conflicts, insurgencies, or terrorist activities. This financing can come from various sources, including private donations, state sponsorship, or illegal activities such as drug trafficking and arms smuggling. The flow of money is crucial for sustaining military operations and recruiting fighters. Governments and international organizations often seek to combat conflict financing by implementing sanctions and monitoring financial transactions. Efforts to disrupt these funding sources aim to weaken the capabilities of groups involved in violence, such as terrorist organizations or rebel factions, ultimately promoting peace and stability in affected regions.
