Executive Order 13224

The Executive Order 13224 is an implementing regulation of the US President George W. Bush , who on 23 September 2001 in response to the attacks on 11 September 2001 was adopted. It is regularly renewed, most recently by US President Donald Trump , and since its entry into force has regulated the United States' worldwide approach to terrorist organizations and their supporters.

It empowers the U.S. Department of State , in consultation with the U.S. Department of Treasury and Justice , to determine and freeze the assets of foreign persons and organizations who commit terrorist acts or pose a significant risk of committing such acts and thus provide a means of disruption the financial support network for terrorists and terrorist organizations.

After the declaration of George W. Bush on the Executive Order on Terrorist Financing of September 24, 2001, the USA published for the first time a list of persons and organizations which are connected with terrorism. The United Nations Security Council adopted the lists and encouraged the member states to adopt them in their countries. That was the start of new global campaigns to drain the financial resources of international terrorism.

States associated with international terrorism are kept on a separate list ( State Sponsors of Terrorism ).
