- Title
The Laws on Providing Material Support to Terrorist Organizations: The Erosion of Constitutional Rights or a Legitimate Tool for Preventing Terrorism?
- Authors

- Abstract
The fact that almost every criminal terrorism case filed after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks has included a charge of providing material support to a terrorist organization reveals the significance of material support laws as the linchpin of the ongoing war on terrorism. This article attempts to illustrate how the current laws on designating foreign terrorist organizations and providing material support to terrorist organizations may violate the constitutional Due Process and First Amendment rights of organizations and individuals. It describes the legal framework in which the designations occur, the various ways in which an organization can be designated as a foreign terrorist organization, the limits of judicial review, and the relationship between the designation process and the criminal provisions and criminal prosecutions on providing material support to designated organizations.
