gendarmerie, customs as well as judicial services of the State or any other service whose assistance is deemed necessary when dealing with financing of terrorism or money laundering. the national coordination committee on activities aimed at combating money laundering and financing of terrorism (CNCA-LBC/FT), whose creation was requested for by a directive of the Inter-governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) on the establishment of a coordination mechanism of activities to combat money laundering and financing of terrorism in every ECOWAS Member State. 393.

National Legislative and Regulatory Frameworks for the Prevention of Terrorism 394. It includes restrictive measures taken to deny freedoms as a means of preventing acts of terrorism. These include, on the one hand, the declaration of a state of emergency in certain regions of the country as well as additional administrative measures. State of Emergency 395. The state of emergency is provided for by the Constitution in Article 68 thereof. Law No. 98-24 of 11 August 1998 determines the condition thereof. It was promulgated in the Diffa region for the first time by Decree No. 2015-073/PRN/PN/MDN/MISPD/ACR/MJ of 10 February 2015. Since then, the state of emergency has been extended every quarter based on authorization from the National Assembly. With regard to the Tillabéry and Tahoua regions, the state of emergency has been declared in certain localities since March 2018 and has since been renewed on several occasions. Administrative Measures 396. These measures have been adopted in line with the enforcement of the state of emergency and for the Diffa region, they are designed to get rid of the population living on the Lake Chad Islands which have become a haven for the terrorists who are mistaken for the local population and thus they are able to commit their treasonable acts in all tranquillity. Furthermore, all forms of cultivation and particularly fishing and export of fish to Nigeria have been prohibited for the simple reason that it is from the smuggling that the terrorists are able to get their fuel supplies including other staple foods. These measures are being eased gradually to bring relief to the population as attested to by Decree No. 041/GR/DA of 4 January 2017 authorizing the movement of motorized tricycles in the Diffa region. 397. Another measure but not the least is the prohibition of any movements on motorbike in the Diffa region and some districts in the Tillabéry and Tahoua regions which are prone to terrorist attacks. These measures can be justified by the fact that the attackers generally use motorbikes to move about and by so doing, they quite easily get to their targets. Measures to relax these restrictions are underway at the request of the population. 81
