Notice of April 8, 2015
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Somalia
On April 12, 2010, by Executive Order 13536, I declared
a national emergency pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States constituted by the
deterioration of the security situation and the
persistence of violence in Somalia, acts of piracy and
armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, which
have repeatedly been the subject of United Nations
Security Council resolutions, and violations of the
arms embargo imposed by the United Nations Security
Council.
On July 20, 2012, I issued Executive Order 13620 to
take additional steps to deal with the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13536 in view of
United Nations Security Council Resolution 2036 of
February 22, 2012, and Resolution 2002 of July 29,
2011, and to address: exports of charcoal from Somalia,
which generate significant revenue for al-Shabaab; the
misappropriation of Somali public assets; and certain
acts of violence committed against civilians in
Somalia, all of which contribute to the deterioration
of the security situation and the persistence of
violence in Somalia.
Because the situation with respect to Somalia continues
to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security and foreign policy of the United
States, the national emergency declared on April 12,
2010, and the measures adopted on that date and on July
20, 2012, to deal with that emergency, must continue in
effect beyond April 12, 2015. Therefore, in accordance
with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50
U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13536.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
THE WHITE HOUSE,
April 8, 2015.
