Notice of July 21, 2015
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations
On July 24, 2011, by Executive Order 13581, I declared
a national emergency with respect to transnational
criminal organizations 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, foreign policy, and economy of the
United States constituted by the activities of
significant transnational criminal organizations.
The activities of significant transnational criminal
organizations have reached such scope and gravity that
they threaten the stability of international political
and economic systems. Such organizations are becoming
increasingly sophisticated and dangerous to the United
States; they are increasingly entrenched in the
operations of foreign governments and the international
financial system, thereby weakening democratic
institutions, degrading the rule of law, and
undermining economic markets. These organizations
facilitate and aggravate violent civil conflicts and
increasingly facilitate the activities of other
dangerous persons.
The activities of significant transnational criminal
organizations continue to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States. For this
reason, the national emergency declared in Executive
Order 13581 of July 24, 2011, and the measures adopted
on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue
in effect beyond July 24, 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
transnational criminal organizations declared in
Executive Order 13581.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
July 21, 2015.
