This is a list of designated terrorist organizations by national governments, former governments and inter-governmental organizations, where the proscription has a significant impact on the group's activities. Many organizations that are accused of being a terrorist organization deny using terrorism as a military tactic to achieve their goals, and there is no international consensus on the legal definition of terrorism.
This listing does not include states or governmental organizations, which are considered under state terrorism, or unaffiliated individuals accused of terrorism, which are considered under lone wolf terrorism. This list also excludes groups that might be widely considered terrorist, but who are not officially so designated according to the criteria specified above.

Process of designation [edit]
Australia [edit]
Since 2002, the Australian Government maintains a Listing of terrorist organisations as per the Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2002.[5] Listing, de-listing and re-listing follows a protocol[5] that mainly involves the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the Attorney-General's Department.[30]
Canada [edit]
Since December 18, 2001, article 83.05 of the Canadian Criminal Code allows the Governor in Council to maintain a list of entities that are engaged in terrorism, facilitating it, or acting on behalf of such an entity.[31]
Entities are reviewed by the Minister and the Chief Justice of the Federal Court, and finally published in the Canada Gazette.[31] The list is also published on the website of Public Safety Canada at http://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/prg/ns/le/cle-eng.aspx for reference.[32]
European Union [edit]
The European Union has two lists of designated terrorist organisations that provide for different sanctions for the two groups.[33]
UN 1267 regime List [edit]
Al-Qaida, the Taliban and their associates.
- prohibition of sale or transfer of arms and related materiel.
- the freezing of funds and other financial assets or resources.
- the prevention of entry onto or transit through the territories of Member States.
- a prohibition on provision of technical assistance or training in military matters or in the manufacture or maintenance of arms and related materiel.
The EU provides exceptions to the implementation of relevant asset-freezing sanctions per UN resolution 1452 (2002). Upon request, a competent national authority may determine to release funds on the following grounds if, within the time limit provided for, there has been no objection made, or a release has been explicitly approved, by the UN Sanctions Committee.
- necessary to cover basic expenses, intended for the payment of professional fees for legal services or for the payment of fees or services in relation to the maintenance of frozen funds or assets
- necessary for extraordinary expenses
Autonomous List [edit]
All other designated organisations.
- the freezing of all funds, other financial assets and economic resources.
- a ban on directly or indirectly making funds, other financial assets and economic resources available.
It is important to note that sanctions are only applicable to EU-external groups regardless of designation. For example, 47 groups are listed as terrorist organisations in the EU but sanctions are only applied to 27 of these. Member States do have an obligation to assist each other in preventing and combating terrorist acts but this is the only action that follows from the designation of an EU-internal organisation.
