Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism Act 2003
The Parliament of Mauritius enacted this Act to implement the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism by criminalizing the wilful provision or collection of funds and assets for terrorist purposes. The legislation establishes a three-year minimum penal servitude penalty, grants courts authority to seize, restrain, and forfeit terrorist property, and expands jurisdiction to cover offences committed domestically, aboard Mauritian vessels or aircraft, and by nationals abroad. Additionally, the Act designates financing of terrorism as an extraditable offence and empowers the Minister to make supplementary regulations for its administration.
