The President of the Arab Republic of Egypt issued Law No. 8 of 2015 to establish and regulate official lists of terrorist entities and individuals, defining these terms and outlining the legal procedures for their designation. The law mandates that the Public Prosecution maintains these lists based on decisions by specialized court panels, imposing automatic legal consequences such as asset freezes, travel bans, and activity prohibitions upon publication. It further establishes mechanisms for judicial review, appeals, international cooperation, and the management of frozen assets to combat terrorism financing and activities.
