To date, America has not been able to eradicate or stop those organizations. Examples of this are the terrorist organizations Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, which thrive under the protection of Pakistan. Asim Munir may be patting himself on the back by declaring the balochistan Liberation Force a banned terrorist organization. But he knows that nothing is going to happen. The united states has added more than 80 organizations in the world to the terrorist list. But to date, the US has not been able to eradicate or stop these organizations. Examples of this are the terrorist organizations Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, which thrive under the protection of Pakistan. When the US declares a group a terrorist organization, it adds it to the Foreign Terrorist Organization and a specially designated global terrorist list. Currently, many organizations such as Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Boko Haram, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Tashker-e-Taiba are included in this list. There is a provision to take strict action against such organizations at various levels. Action is taken against these organizations under the AEDPA 1996. However, most of the activities of these terrorist organizations can be taken against them only if they have any connection with the US or have formal relations with any of the US allies. First, economic sanctions are imposed on the terrorist organization. All its assets in the united states are seized. Accounts are frozen. American citizens and companies cannot provide funds, equipment, training, or any other kind of assistance to these organizations. Doing so is considered a crime. Members and leaders of a banned terrorist organization are not allowed to come to the United States. If any of them are in the united states, they can be deported or arrested. Under international diplomacy and pressure, the united states may request action to end the contact or relationship of banned terrorist groups with other countries.
Cases of arms trafficking, money laundering, and conspiracy may also be registered against the terrorist groups. And pressure may be exerted in the relevant countries to arrest them. If the BLA is banned, it will not be able to work in any economic or political organization in the United States. But the things it does secretly, from where it raises funds here, will not be affected by this ban. It can raise funds through front organizations and affiliates. Apart from this, the US cannot stop money from going to the BLA through hawala, cryptocurrency, and intermediaries from third countries. The BLA is actively operating in the border areas of Pakistan, afghanistan, and Iran. Therefore, the support it receives from iran and afghanistan may continue. The BLA has no relationship with the US. Therefore, this decision is unlikely to have any effect. In fact, the US considered the BLA as a violent separatist organization as early as 2000. Since then, balochistan has appealed to the Human Rights Commission and the Senate several times. But according to the Rand and Six reports, no member of the Baloch Liberation army has ever been known to have participated in them. Only Baloch activists who lived in the US or europe participated in these senates. Apart from this, there is no connection between the US and the Baloch Liberation army in terms of weapons and economic relations.
In fact, the Baloch Liberation army is just one example of the 80 organizations that the US has added to the Fund Transfer Order (FTO); many are still operating in the same way as before being added to this list. Weak organizations have also ended due to internal conflicts or insurgencies in their respective countries. According to the CIA's terrorist organization rules, the largest terrorist organization included in the Fund Transfer Order is Al Shabaab. It operates in Somalia. This organization has been on the US terrorist list for a long time.
But to date, the US has not been able to do any harm to the organization. Some financial sanctions have been imposed on it. There are not enough. The small organization, Abdullah Azam Brigades, which was on a fund transfer order, has been operating for a long time. Talking about Pakistan, in fact, the Baloch Liberation army is an organization that operates only in Pakistan. Earlier, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, which have been thriving at the mercy of Pakistan, have been included in this list of the US that continue to operate and carry out terrorist acts against India. The US added Lashkar-e-Taiba to this list immediately after the mumbai attack. The UN Security Council also put pressure on Pakistan. But this organization was receiving funds from front organizations like Jamaat-ud-Dawa. Its leader, Hafiz Saeed, is still roaming freely in Pakistan.
Similarly, Jaish-e-Mohammed was also added to the Fund Transfer Order list in 2001. After the US sanctions, the organization received financial support from the gulf and Britain. The Afghan Taliban also stopped cooperating openly. But continued to support it secretly. As a result, it is actively operating in Pakistan. From there, the organization executes its nefarious terrorist plans. Its leader, Masood Azhar, is under a travel ban. But he still moves freely in Pakistan.
