                 Executive Order 13882 of July 26, 2019
                
                Blocking Property and Suspending Entry of Certain
                 Persons Contributing to the Situation in Mali
                 By the authority vested in me as President by the
                 Constitution and the laws of the United States of
                 America, including the International Emergency Economic
                 Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the
                 National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.)
                 (NEA), the United Nations Participation Act of 1945 (22
                 U.S.C. 287c) (UNPA), section 212(f) of the Immigration
                 and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and
                 section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and in view
                 of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR)
                 2374 of September 5, 2017, and UNSCR 2432 of August 30,
                 2018.
                 I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of
                 America, find that the situation in Mali, including
                 repeated violations of ceasefire arrangements made
                 pursuant to the 2015 Agreement on Peace and
                 Reconciliation in Mali; the expansion of terrorist
                 activities into southern and central Mali; the
                 intensification of drug trafficking and trafficking in
                 persons, human rights abuses, and hostage-taking; and
                 the intensification of attacks against civilians, the
                 Malian defense and security forces, the United Nations
                 Multidimensional Integrated Stabilizations Mission in
                 Mali (MINUSMA), and international security presences,
                 constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
                 national security and foreign policy of the United
                 States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to
                 deal with that threat. I hereby order:
                 Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property
                 that are in the United States, that hereafter come
                 within the United States, or that are or hereafter come
                 within the possession or control of any United States
                 person of the following persons are blocked and may not
                 be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise
                 dealt in: any person determined by the Secretary of the
                 Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State:
                (i) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or
                indirectly engaged in, any of the following in or in relation to Mali:

                of Mali;
                 (B) actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or
                institutions in Mali;
                 (C) a hostile act in violation of, or an act that obstructs, including by
                prolonged delay, or threatens the implementation of, the 2015 Agreement on
                Peace and Reconciliation in Mali;
                 (D) planning, directing, sponsoring, or conducting attacks against local,
                regional, or state institutions, the Malian defense and security forces,
                any international security presences, MINUSMA peacekeepers, other United
                Nations or associated personnel, or any other peacekeeping operations;
                 (E) obstructing the delivery or distribution of, or access to,
                humanitarian assistance;
                 (F) planning, directing, or committing an act that violates international
                humanitarian law or that constitutes a serious human rights abuse or
                violation, including an act involving the targeting of civilians through
                [[Page 37056]]
                the commission of an act of violence, abduction or enforced disappearance,
                forced displacement, or an attack on a school, hospital, religious site, or
                location where civilians are seeking refuge;
                 (G) the use or recruitment of children by armed groups or armed forces in
                the context of the armed conflict in Mali;
                 (H) the illicit production or trafficking of narcotics or their
                precursors originating or transiting through Mali;
                 (I) trafficking in persons, smuggling migrants, or trafficking or
                smuggling arms or illicitly acquired cultural property; or
                 (J) any transaction or series of transactions involving bribery or other
                corruption, such as the misappropriation of Malian public assets or
                expropriation of private assets for personal gain or political purposes;
                (ii) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial,
                material, or technological support for, or goods or services in support of,
                any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to
                this order; or
                (iii) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act
                for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and
                interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order.
                 (b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this
                 section apply except to the extent provided by
                 statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or
                 licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and
                 notwithstanding any contract entered into or any
                 license or permit granted prior to the date of this
                 order.
                 Sec. 2. The unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant
                 entry into the United States of aliens determined to
                 meet one or more of the criteria in section 1 of this
                 order would be detrimental to the interests of the
                 United States, and the entry of such persons into the
                 United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, is
                 hereby suspended, except where the Secretary of State
                 determines that the person's entry is in the national
                 interest of the United States, including when the
                 Secretary so determines based on a recommendation of
                 the Attorney General, that the person's entry would
                 further important United States law enforcement
                 objectives. Such persons shall be treated as persons
                 covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24,
                 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United
                 Nations Security Council Travel Bans and International
                 Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions).
                 Sec. 3. I hereby determine that the making of donations
                 of the types of articles specified in section 203(b)(2)
                 of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the
                 benefit of any person whose property and interests in
                 property are blocked pursuant to section 1 of this
                 order would seriously impair my ability to deal with
                 the national emergency declared in this order, and I
                 hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1
                 of this order.
                 Sec. 4. The prohibitions in section 1 of this order
                 include but are not limited to:
                 (a) the making of any contribution or provision of
                 funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of
                 any person whose property and interests in property are
                 blocked pursuant to this order; and
                 (b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of
                 funds, goods, or services from any such person.
                 Sec. 5. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has
                 the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation
                 of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set
                 forth in this order is prohibited.
                 (b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the
                 prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
                 Sec. 6. For the purposes of this order:
                 (a) the term ``person'' means an individual or
                 entity;
                [[Page 37057]]
                 (b) the term ``entity'' means a partnership,
                 association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group,
                 subgroup, or other organization; and
                 (c) the term ``United States person'' means any
                 United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity
                 organized under the laws of the United States or any
                 jurisdiction within the United States (including
                 foreign branches), or any person in the United States.
                 Sec. 7. For those persons whose property and interests
                 in property are blocked pursuant to this order who
                 might have a constitutional presence in the United
                 States, I find that because of the ability to transfer
                 funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to
                 such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this
                 order would render those measures ineffectual. I
                 therefore determine that for these measures to be
                 effective in addressing the national emergency declared
                 in this order, there need be no prior notice of a
                 listing or determination made pursuant to section 1 of
                 this order.
                 Sec. 8. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
                 with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to
                 take such actions, including promulgating rules and
                 regulations, and to employ all powers granted to the
                 President by IEEPA and the UNPA as may be necessary to
                 implement this order. The Secretary of the Treasury
                 may, consistent with applicable law, redelegate any of
                 these functions within the Department of the Treasury.
                 All agencies of the United States Government shall take
                 all appropriate measures within their authority to
                 carry out the provisions of this order.
                 Sec. 9. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
                 with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to
                 submit the recurring and final reports to the Congress
                 on the national emergency declared in this order,
                 consistent with section 40l(c) of the NEA (50 U.S.C.
                 164l(c)) and section 204(c) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C.
                 1703(c)).
                 Sec. 10. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed
                 to impair or otherwise affect:
                (i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
                the head thereof; or
                (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
                relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
                 (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
                 applicable law and subject to the availability of
                 appropriations.
                [[Page 37058]]
                 (c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
                 create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
                 enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
                 the United States, its departments, agencies, or
                 entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
                 other person.
