HOW IT's DONE: The Proud Boys and the Base are now illegal in New Zealand

[kpete]

Designating these two white-supremacist groups as terrorist organizations will have global consequences

New Zealand recently designated two U.S. far-right groups, the Proud Boys and the Base, as terrorist organizations. This puts them in the same category as groups such as the Islamic State and makes it a crime for any New Zealander to support or join the group.

In doing so, New Zealand joins a growing trend of Western governments taking far-right violence more seriously. New Zealand’s actions may seem small, but they overlap other actions that make it harder for far-right groups to operate and fundraise around the globe.
