Párrafo
Paragraph text
The United States has exhibited harsher treatment of associations for violating the Anti-Terrorism Act, which prohibits "knowingly provid[ing] material support", including funding, to terrorist organizations. In March 2007, Chiquita Brands International was only fined for knowingly making direct payments to terrorists for protection from violence in Colombia, whereas, nine United States charities have been shut down for similar alleged violations since 2001.
