New Zealand is obligated under international law to give effect to United Nations resolutions against terrorism, including taking steps to prevent terrorist financing, recruiting or other forms of support. New Zealand is further obligated to apply these measures against specific entities listed by the United Nations Security Counsel as being associated with the Taleban or Al-Qaeda network.

The Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 provides for a list of terrrorist entities to be established and maintained in New Zealand. All terrorist entities listed by the United Nations are automatically listed by New Zealand. These entities remain terrorist entities in New Zealand for as long as they remain listed by the United Nations.
