Notice of March 27, 2018
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to South Sudan
On April 3, 2014, by Executive Order 13664, 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 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 humanitarian aid workers,
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, 2018.
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 27, 2018.
