Notice of October 23, 2017
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Democratic Republic of the Congo
On October 27, 2006, by Executive Order 13413, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to
the situation in, or in relation to, the Democratic
Republic of the Congo and, pursuant to the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701-1706), ordered related measures blocking the
property of certain persons contributing to the
conflict in that country. The President took this
action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary
threat to the foreign policy of the United States
constituted by the situation in, or in relation to, the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, which has been marked
by widespread violence and atrocities and continues to
threaten regional stability. The President took
additional steps to address this national emergency in
Executive Order 13671 of July 8, 2014.
The situation in, or in relation to, the Democratic
Republic of the Congo continues to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the
United States. For this reason, the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13413 of October 27, 2006,
as amended by Executive Order 13671 of July 8, 2014,
and the measures adopted to deal with that emergency,
must continue in effect beyond October 27, 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 the situation in, or in relation to, the
Democratic Republic of the Congo declared in Executive
Order 13413, as amended by Executive Order 13671.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
October 23, 2017.
