The designation of terrorist entities is one measure New Zealand takes to contribute to the international campaign against terrorism. The Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 (TSA) provides for a list of terrorist entities to be established and maintained in New Zealand. Police are responsible for coordinating requests to the Prime Minister for designation as a terrorist entity.
Where there are no longer reasonable grounds for the Prime Minister to believe that an entity be designated under s 22 of the TSA, that designation may be allowed to expire.
