Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review
Abstract
The note argues that counterfeiting has become a critical funding mechanism for terrorist organizations, particularly radical Islamic jihadist groups, due to its profitability and relative anonymity. Current legal frameworks, such as the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and material support laws like section 2339B of the USA PATRIOT Act, are insufficient to address this threat effectively. The analysis highlights the need for stricter penalties, increased consumer awareness, and international cooperation to disrupt the financial networks supporting terrorism through counterfeiting.
