About this Talk

Hezbollah’s TOC activities have increased over the past several years, presenting unique challenges for policymakers and law enforcement agencies alike. In the U.S., the Obama administration opted not to designate Hezbollah as a TOC enterprise, but the group was included in a U.S. Department of Justice task force on TOC activities. In Europe, where only the terrorist and military wing of Hezbollah is designated, Europol has bluntly noted that banning only part of the group has made it much harder to address the group’s criminal activities.
