Notice of March 3, 2016
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Venezuela
On March 8, 2015, I issued Executive Order 13692,
declaring a national emergency with respect to the
situation in Venezuela, including the Government of
Venezuela's erosion of human rights guarantees,
persecution of political opponents, curtailment of
press freedoms, use of violence and human rights
violations and abuses in response to antigovernment
protests, and arbitrary arrest and detention of
antigovernment protestors, as well as the exacerbating
presence of significant government corruption. The
situation described in Executive Order 13692 has not
improved. 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 13692.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
March 3, 2016.
