The Terrorist Organizations and Individuals List Act 2017 is an Esquarian law that provides for the creation of the Terrorist Organizations and Individuals List (TOIL), a list of proscribed terrorist groups and individuals in Esquarium.

Background

Fighting terrorism was one of the key themes of the 2016 Esquarian Summit, and the Esquarian Community had not previously had a cohesive anti-terrorism policy in place. The creation of the TOIL empowers the EC to act in unison to prevent the entry of known terrorists into the Community and to more effectively take advantage of the EC's unified arrest warrant structure.
