Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation declares the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (also known as the Islamic Movement of Turkestan or Islamic Party of Turkestan) to be a terrorist organisation under Australian law.

What this means:

Once listed, it becomes a criminal offence to belong to, recruit for, train with, receive training from, or provide support to this organisation
The listing triggers offences under the Criminal Code Act 1995 relating to terrorist organisations

Why this matters:

This instrument replaces a previous listing (Regulation 4J of the Criminal Code Regulations 2002, which is repealed by Schedule 1)
The listing ensures the group remains subject to Australia's counter-terrorism laws, which help prevent terrorist activities and prosecute those involved with banned groups
