I suspect if this coalition of nations actually criminalized paying ransoms, that would go a long way towards closing up all those loopholes. Perhaps that is what needs to happen next.

Until a government organization or close enough public need arises where a new loophole would be created PDQ? Also "close all the loopholes" has a ridiculously poor record in law. On the one hand, people with no incentives, on the other people whose entire line of work is to extract the maximum result of whatever the law happens to be.
