CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler writes: Terrorism is a phenomenon that knows no borders. The threat of extremist violence is a part of everyday life around the world, a fact that was demonstrated again and again in 2018. Due to the universal nature of this problem, however, coordinated multilateral action on the sources of terrorism remains crucial. While in 2018 we did see progress on anti-terror legislation in Germany, the United Kingdom and at the level of the European Union, these efforts should be further improved to continue to tackle the continued development of terrorist financing methods."
