About this app

The "Terrorist Organizations Knowledge Base" lists organizations whose financial assets have been frozen by the European Union (EU) and/or the United Nations (UN) because they are linked to terrorist activities. In addition to the UN and EU terrorism lists, Member States, including the Netherlands, also maintain national terrorism sanctions lists. Organizations on national sanctions lists are not included in the knowledge base. Several historical organizations are also included for reference purposes. The knowledge base is a product of the National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV), in collaboration with the Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) at Leiden University. The information in the knowledge base is subject to change as and when current developments necessitate it. The app contains:
- Organizations are listed alphabetically, with geographical information on the map about their country of origin and operational areas.
- A comprehensive fact sheet is available for each organization, including logos, origins, objectives, background information, organizational structure, and (recent) activities. - An overview of recent attacks and interventions per organization is available, which is also displayed on the map.
- Overview with logos.
- Glossary with explanations.
- In-depth information on topics such as the use of the internet by terrorists, terrorist financing, and terrorist modus operandi.
The content of the knowledge base has been revised in accordance with legislation and regulations.
