Abstract

The report examines the Europ ean Union’s anti-money laundering (AML) measures through the prism of the New AML Package and the potential of the new rules to be a source of risks to human rights. The aim is through an analysis of the objectives and logic of both AML regulation and human rights protection, to demonstrate how fundamental rights may be affected in the context of money laundering prevention. Several core instruments of the AML framework are identified as immanent sources of risks to human rights, leading to the conclusion that, although legislative reform may modernise the regulatory framework, the structural challenges remain.
