Notice of June 8, 2018
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Actions and Policies of Certain Members
of the Government of Belarus and Other Persons To
Undermine Democratic Processes or Institutions of
Belarus
On June 16, 2006, by Executive Order 13405, 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
Belarus and other persons to undermine Belarus's
democratic processes or institutions, manifested in the
fundamentally undemocratic March 2006 elections; to
commit human rights abuses related to political
repression, including detentions and disappearances;
and to engage in public corruption, including by
diverting or misusing Belarusian public assets or by
misusing public authority.
The actions and policies of certain members of the
Government of Belarus and other persons 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 June 16, 2006, and the measures adopted on
that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in
effect beyond June 16, 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 13405.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
June 8, 2018.
