List of designated terrorists and terrorist organizations

A list of designated terrorists and terrorist organizations is a formal compilation created by governments or international agencies to identify groups and individuals involved in violent acts aimed at causing harm or fear for political, ideological, or other motivations. Being on this list often results in legal consequences, including asset freezes and travel bans. These listings aim to hinder the activities of these groups, enhance security, and promote international cooperation in combating terrorism. The criteria for designation vary by jurisdiction but generally involve demonstrated involvement in terrorist acts or support for such actions.
