The Committee is satisfied that appropriate processes have been followed and concludes that Al-Shabaab , Hamas' Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the Kurdistan Workers Party, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad meet the definition of a terrorist organisation, namely that these organisations:
are directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act, or
advocate the doing of a terrorist act.
The Committee therefore supports the re‑listing of Al-Shabaab , Hamas' Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the Kurdistan Workers Party, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as terrorist organisations under the Criminal Code and finds no reason to disallow these legislative instruments.
