The President may, for the purposes of this Act, by proclamation in the Gazette declare—

(b) any association of persons, movement or institution outside the Republic to be a hostile organization if he is satisfied that that association of persons, movement or institution incites, instigates, commands, aids, advises, encourages or procures any person in the Republic or elsewhere to commit in the Republic an act of violence for any purpose prejudicial to the security or interests of the Republic, and may, in like manner at any time repeal or amend any such proclamation.
