Organizations designated as terrorist by Canada

Organizations designated as terrorist by Canada are organizations that have been designated by the Canadian government as terrorist organisations.

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.[1]

Entities are reviewed by the Minister and the Chief Justice of the Federal Court, and finally published in the Canada Gazette.[1] The list is also published on the website of Public Safety Canada.[2]
