In October 2002, New Zealand enacted the Terrorism Suppression Act (TSA). The TSA establishes a legal framework for the suppression of terrorism. In particular, it is the mechanism by which New Zealand gives effect to the United Nations Security Council (“UNSC”) mandatory resolutions requiring UN member states to take certain steps to suppress terrorism. An important feature of this framework is the Prime Minister’s power under the TSA to designate individuals or groups as terrorist or associated entities. Designation can be on an “interim” (s 20 TSA) or “final” (s 22 TSA) basis.

There are two broad categories of entities that are affected by the TSA:

1. entities listed by the UN as terrorist entities (by the UNSC’s 1267 Committee)
2. non-UN listed entities designated under the TSA
