The course aimed to raise awareness and build capacity, and to provide law enforcement forces, officials of financial institutions and relevant specialist officers with the investigative tools and methods needed to detect, investigate, analyse and prevent proliferation financing and attempts to evade United Nations sanctions.

This activity is part of a series of capacity-building activities for the forces performing the tasks of Standing Office 81, aimed at effectively implementing Decree No. 81/2019/ND-CP of the Government on countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and at meeting the requirements of United Nations Security Council resolutions and the regulations of the international organisations of which Vietnam is a member./.
