<p>There are comprehensive safeguards in place to ensure UK money is not used to benefit terrorist organisations, either directly or indirectly. In the Occupied Palestinian Territories we work with trusted partners including the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which regularly checks staff names, suppliers and other payees against a recognised database of names of persons listed as being associated with terrorist organisations. All our partners commit to taking appropriate steps to ensure that the funds we provide are not used to provide assistance to, or otherwise support, terrorists or terrorist organisations, in full compliance with UK and EU anti-terror legislation.</p> |
