| Zusammenfassung: | The misuse of charities to finance terrorism can pose a risk to South East Asian regional security. Humanitarian aid that is delivered through local charitable delivery partners specifically to foreign conflict zones carries a high risk of subversion. Recently, allegations that Australian charitable funds were misused to support terrorism overseas have been in the news. This article discusses the Australian case and suggests situation-sensitive risk assessments and preventive measures to address this problem. In particular, a government can impose stricter accountability conditions to deter misuse of public funds it delivers to conflict zones abroad through humanitarian charities. |
