The 65th anniversary of the Paris Peace Treaty on February 10 shed light on a disturbing fact. Although the treaty allowed Finland to join the UN, the country is now flaunting a Security Council ban on supporting terror organizations like Al Qaeda.
The Security Council’s Al Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee requires countries to block all resources going to Al Qaeda-linked terrorist Doku Umarov and Emarat Kavkaz (Caucasus Emirate), a terrorist organization.
At the anniversary round table meeting, experts discussed this curious situation. A range of international instruments – such as UN counterterrorism sanctions – are applicable to terrorist offences. And yet unfortunately, Finland has not complied with the sanctions against Al-Qaeda.
Finland accepts not only Storsjö’s questionable affairs but also the open support of Ms. Heidi Hautala, the Minister for International Development, for the above-mentioned web center and its anti-Russian activities.
