Notice of July 19, 2017
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations
On July 24, 2011, by Executive Order 13581, the
President 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.
Significant transnational criminal organizations
continue to threaten the safety of the United States
and its citizens through the scope and gravity of their
actions. Such organizations derive revenue through
widespread illegal conduct and overwhelmingly
demonstrate a blatant disregard for human life through
acts of violence and abuse. These organizations often
facilitate and aggravate violent civil conflicts and
increasingly facilitate the activities of other
dangerous persons. As the sophistication of these
organizations increases, they pose an increasing threat
to the United States.
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, 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 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,
