The 2012 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended, provides: "Rule 13.g.2. Authority to Assist the United Nations and other International Organizations and Foreign States. The AMLC is authorized under Section 7 (8) and 13 (b) and (d) of the AMLA, as amended, to receive and take action in respect of any request of foreign States for assistance in their own anti-money laundering operations. It is also authorized under Section 7 (7) of the AMLA, as amended, to cooperate with the National Government and/or take appropriate action in respect of conventions, resolutions and other directives of the United Nations (UN), the UN Security Council, and other international organizations of which the Philippines is a member. However, the AMLC may refuse to comply with any such request, convention, resolution or directive where the action sought therein contravenes the provision of the Constitution or the execution thereof is likely to prejudice the national interest of the Philippines. DaAISH As a charter member of the United Nations and as part of the international coalition against terrorism, the Philippines, through the Anti-Money Laundering Council, must actively support the actions required under the subject UNSC Resolution.
