'Charity work streamlined to avert terror funding doubts'; 'Kuwait committed to combat terrorism' CAIRO (KUNA): The State of Kuwait's work paper tabled during the regional Arab conference dubbed "Impact of Terror on Social Development," unveiled that "Kuwait has organized philanthropic action to fend off terror-funding skepticism." The work paper presented by Director of Philanthropic and Welfare Department, Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor during the conference convened in the Egyptian Sharm El-Sheikh sea-resort, focused on Kuwait's drive to combat all modes of terrorism. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor that handles the philanthropic activities in the country, has played a major role in the drive for coping with the new requirements, including the official application that should be presented to allow the off-border transfer of funds. To protect the country's financial system, the work paper's recommendations included the activation of the articles 46, 52 and 56 of the Kuwaiti penal code No 16 of 1960 that completely bans the funding of terrorism. Also it recommended monitoring the media to avoid promotion of any terrorist ideas, adding that the NGO's were center of collective support because their sponsors are center of wide scale popular and official confidence.
