EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Part 2 of the Terrorism Act 2000 (c. 11) makes provision for proscribed organisations (including setting out offences in relation to such organisations in sections 11 to 13). An organisation is proscribed if it is listed in Schedule 2 to that Act (“Schedule 2”) or, in most cases, it operates under the same name as an organisation so listed (section 3(1)).
Article 2 of this Order adds Palestine Action, Maniacs Murder Cult and Russian Imperial Movement to the list in Schedule 2 as new entries.
Article 3 of this Order adds a note to Schedule 2 providing that the entry for the first organisation added to Schedule 2 by article 2 of this Order is the organisation using that name that is based in the United Kingdom.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
