Under the terms of the Inter-American Convention, the member states agree to adopt certain measures and to strengthen cooperation to prevent, punish, and eliminate terrorism. Among its provisions the treaty requires each state party, to the extent it has not already done so, to “institute a legal and regulatory regime to prevent, combat, and eradicate the financing of terrorism and for effective international cooperation.” The states would cooperate on measures that include a comprehensive domestic regulatory and supervisory regime for banks, other financial institutions, and other entities deemed particularly susceptible to being used to finance terrorist activities.
The treaty also provides for cooperation on border controls and cooperation among law enforcement authorities to fight terrorist activities.
Besides Panama, the other member states that have thus far ratified the Inter-American Convention against Terrorism are Antigua and Barbuda, Canada, El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru. Thirty-three member states have signed the treaty.
