Designated Terrorist Organizations

Designated terrorist organizations are groups officially identified by governments or international bodies as entities that use violence or threats to achieve political aims. These designations help authorities impose legal sanctions, such as freezing assets, banning activities, or arresting members, to prevent support for terrorism. Such lists are based on assessments of the group's activities, motivations, and connections to violence. Being on the list is a formal recognition of the group's threat, enabling coordinated efforts to counteract their influence and protect public safety.
