Several national governments and two international bodies have created lists of organizations that they designate as terrorist. [1] The following list of designated terrorist groups is composed of groups on whom a "terrorist" designation had been officially issued, whether by current or former national governments, or inter-governmental organizations. Such designations have often had a significant effect on the groups' activities.[ example needed ][ citation needed ]
Many organizations that have been designated as terrorist have denied using terrorism as a military tactic to achieve their goals, and there is no international consensus on the legal definition of terrorism. [2] [3]
This listing does not include unaffiliated individuals accused of terrorism, which is considered lone wolf terrorism. This list also excludes groups who might be widely considered terrorist but were not officially designated as such.
Organizations listed by the United Nations Security Council and ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee. [4]

Among the countries that publish a list of designated terrorist organizations, some have a clear established procedure for listing and delisting, and some are opaque. The Berghof Foundation argues that opaque delisting conditions reduce the incentive for the organization to abandon terrorism, while fuelling radicalism. [506]
Since 2002, the Australian Government maintains a list of terrorist organizations under the Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2002. [17] Listing, de-listing and re-listing follows a protocol [17] that mainly involves the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the Attorney-General's Department. [507]
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains a public list of designated terrorist individuals and entities. [7]
Since 18 December 2001, section 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. [508]
A review is conducted every five years by the Minister of Public Safety to determine whether an entity should remain listed. Entities may apply for a judicial review by the Chief Justice of the Federal Court. Both ministerial and judicial reviews are published in the Canada Gazette . [508] The list is also published on the website of Public Safety Canada. [8]
