Notice of July 17, 2015
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Former Liberian Regime of Charles Taylor
On July 22, 2004, by Executive Order 13348, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to
the former Liberian regime of Charles Taylor pursuant
to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and
extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the
United States constituted by the actions and policies
of former Liberian President Charles Taylor and other
persons, in particular their unlawful depletion of
Liberian resources and their removal from Liberia and
secreting of Liberian funds and property, which have
undermined Liberia's transition to democracy and the
orderly development of its political, administrative,
and economic institutions and resources.
Although Liberia has made significant advances to
promote democracy, and the Special Court for Sierra
Leone convicted Charles Taylor for war crimes and
crimes against humanity, the actions and policies of
Charles Taylor and others have left a legacy of
destruction that still challenge Liberia's
transformation and recovery. The actions and policies
of these persons continue to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the
United States. For this reason, the national emergency
declared on July 22, 2004, and the measures adopted on
that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in
effect beyond July 22, 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 with respect to the former Liberian
regime of Charles Taylor declared in Executive Order
13348.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
