Outline of Final Research Achievements

Originally, this research focused on privacy violations under international law. However, as the research progressed, Japan, South Korea, and the USA were on the verge of establishing a legal system related to international money laundering, and it became clear that certain elements would hinder an effective strategy for dealing with an issue facing society. Practically speaking, Japan had no system to control organized crime, and little understanding of the relationship between money laundering and terrorism, while South Korea faced opaque finances related to corrupt politicians, and the United States faced a multi-billion-dollar cash market for illegal drugs. This research serves to clarify the facets of real-world society which bear a deep relationship to and are easily influenced by capital and financing for terrorism.
