Notice of May 9, 2017
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Central African Republic
On May 12, 2014, by Executive Order 13667, the
President declared a national emergency 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 the
Central African Republic, which has been marked by a
breakdown of law and order, intersectarian tension,
widespread violence and atrocities, and the pervasive,
often forced recruitment and use of child soldiers, and
which threatens the peace, security, or stability of
the Central African Republic and neighboring states.
The situation in and in relation to the Central African
Republic 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 May 12, 2014, to deal with that
threat must continue in effect beyond May 12, 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 13667.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
May 9, 2017.
