Summary/Abstract: The fight against money laundering and against the financing of terrorism is one of the most important elements of criminal policies in all legal systems. With the same purpose, at the international level there are many organizations and different entities that provide assistance and support for the domestic legal systems.

This article aims to briefly present the history and the current activity of each of the two mechanisms previously mentioned. Also, the author aims to find potential improvements of their activity.
