New Zealand's designated terrorist individuals and organisationsDesignated individuals and organisationsNew Zealand is obligated under international law to give effect to United Nations resolutions against terrorism, including taking steps to prevent terrorist financing, recruiting or other forms of support. New Zealand is further obligated to apply these measures against specific entities listed by the United Nations Security Counsel as being associated with the Taleban or Al-Qaeda network. The Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 provides for a list of terrrorist entities to be established and maintained in New Zealand. All terrorist entities listed by the United Nations are automatically listed by New Zealand. These entities remain terrorist entities in New Zealand for as long as they remain listed by the United Nations. The list is available in three formats (current as at 22 October 2009):
Any individual or group listed by the United Nations may apply to remove their name from the list. A New Zealand resident or citizen, or any group whose members have New Zealand citizenship or residency may submit a request for delisting either through Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade or alternatively, direct to the Security Council. Requests should be directed to: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Or Focal Point for De-listing |
