Notice of February 9, 2018
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Libya
On February 25, 2011, by Executive Order 13566, 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 of Colonel
Muammar Qadhafi, his government, and his close
associates, which took extreme measures against the
people of Libya, including using weapons of war,
mercenaries, and wanton violence against unarmed
civilians. In addition, there was a serious risk that
Libyan state assets would be misappropriated by
Qadhafi, members of his government, members of his
family, or his close associates. The foregoing
circumstances, the prolonged attacks against civilians,
and the increased numbers of Libyans seeking refuge in
other countries caused a deterioration in the security
of Libya and posed a serious risk to its stability.
The situation in Libya continues to pose an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States, and measures are
needed to protect against the diversion of assets or
other abuses by members of Qadhafi's family, their
associates, and others hindering Libyan national
reconciliation.
For this reason, the national emergency declared on
February 25, 2011, must continue in effect beyond
February 25, 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 13566.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
February 9, 2018.
