EXPLANATORY NOTE

Part 2 of the Terrorism Act 2000 makes provision about 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 or operates under the same name as an organisation so listed (section 3(1)). Article 2 to this Order adds an organisation to the list in that Schedule in substitution for an existing organisation so listed.
