Notice of March 30, 2016
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to South Sudan
On April 3, 2014, by Executive Order 13664, 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 situation in and in relation
to South Sudan, which has been marked by activities
that threaten the peace, security, or stability of
South Sudan and the surrounding region, including
widespread violence and atrocities, human rights
abuses, recruitment and use of child soldiers, attacks
on peacekeepers, and obstruction of humanitarian
operations.
The situation in and in relation to South Sudan
continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat
to the national security and foreign policy of the
United States. For this reason, the national emergency
declared on April 3, 2014, to deal with that threat
must continue in effect beyond April 3, 2016.
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 13664.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
March 30, 2016.
