The process for designating terrorist organizations at the UN level involves various committees and resolutions. For example, the 1267 Committee, established pursuant to UN Security Council Resolution 1267, concerns with individuals and entities associated with Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, and/or the Taliban. Designation as a terrorist organization is often contingent upon the specific framework set by the UN Security Council resolutions, which member states are obliged to implement. This can lead to the freezing of assets, travel bans, and arms embargoes against the designated groups. The process of designating terrorist entities involves a proposal by a member state, which is then considered by the committee. If the committee approves the designation, it is then enforced by all UN member states. The criteria for such designations include participation in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing, or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf of, or in support of; supplying, selling or transferring arms and related material to; recruiting for; or otherwise supporting acts or activities of designated individuals and entities. Moreover, entities and individuals can be added or removed from the list based on a consensus of the committee or by the decision of the Security Council. The list is continually updated and reviewed to reflect the evolving nature of threats. At the individual country level, each government may have its own legal framework and criteria for designating terrorist organizations, which may or may not align with those of the United Nations. The designation process at the national level may involve intelligence agencies, the military, and law enforcement agencies, and usually includes a legal process that the designated group can challenge.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the rise of Arab nationalism and Jewish nationalism in the region. The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and the displacement of a large number of Palestinians are seen as major historical events that fuelled the ongoing conflict. How has the international community responded to the Israel-Palestine conflict? The international community has responded with numerous attempts to mediate peace, most notably through the United Nations. Resolutions have been passed, and various countries have tried to broker peace deals, though a lasting resolution has not been achieved. The United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations (as the Quartet) have been particularly active in mediation efforts. What are the current obstacles to peace between Israel and Palestine? The major obstacles to peace include issues such as the status of Jerusalem, the right of return for Palestinian refugees, security concerns of Israel, borders and settlements in the West Bank, and the governance and political reconciliation between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. How do the different leaderships in Israel and Palestine affect the peace process? The political leaderships of both sides have fluctuated in their willingness and ability to engage in peace talks. Israeli leadership has varied from hardline to more conciliatory stances, while Palestinian leadership is divided between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza, which complicates efforts to negotiate a comprehensive peace agreement. What role does the United States play in the Israel-Palestine peace process? The United States has traditionally played a significant role as a mediator in the peace process, often seen as a close ally of Israel. Its involvement has included the brokering of past peace accords, providing diplomatic support, and engaging in direct negotiations with both parties. However, U.S. policy and involvement have evolved over different administrations, affecting the dynamics of the peace process.

I think there’s more to be said about the international involvement in the peace process – like how various countries have tried to mediate over the years. Reply Mike Anderson November 5, 2023 - 2:49 pm seems like the conflict is in an endless loop, how many more resolutions can the UN make before something changes for real.
