Proscription  One of ways in which the British Government has attempted to deal with terrorism is by "proscribing" certain organizations. This makes it an offence to belong to the specified organization or to support it actively.  The list of such organizations is sch. 2 to the TA 2000. The Secretary of State has the power under s. 3 of the TA 2000 to add an organisation to, or remove an organisation from, this list, by order. The grounds for adding an organization are that the Security of State believes that it is 'concerned with terrorism'. The section does not require the belief to be based on reasonable grounds, but it may well be that a court would read in such a requirement. 'Concerned in terrorism' is further defined by s. (5) as:

Consequences of proscription  Where an organization is proscribed, it becomes an offence to be a member of it, or to profess to be a member (TA 2000, s 11). Section 11 (2) states that it is a defence for the person to prove that the organization was not proscribed when he or she became a member or professed to be a member, and that he or she has not taken part in the activities of the organization at any ….
