Notice of May 8, 2017
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Yemen
On May 16, 2012, by Executive Order 13611, the
President 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 actions and
policies of certain members of the Government of Yemen
and others. These actions and policies threatened
Yemen's peace, security, and stability, including by
obstructing the political process in Yemen and the
implementation of the agreement of November 23, 2011,
between the Government of Yemen and those in opposition
to it, which provided for a peaceful transition of
power that meets the legitimate demands and aspirations
of the Yemeni people for change.
The actions and policies of certain members of the
Government of Yemen and others in threatening Yemen's
peace, security, and stability continue 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 May 16,
2012, to deal with that threat must continue in effect
beyond May 16, 2017. 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 13611.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
May 8, 2017.
