                 Notice of July 16, 2024
                
                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                 Respect to Hostage-Taking and the Wrongful Detention of
                 United States Nationals Abroad
                 On July 19, 2022, by Executive Order 14078, I declared
                 a national emergency pursuant to the International
                 Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)
                 to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to
                 the national security, foreign policy, and economy of
                 the United States constituted by hostage-taking and the
                 wrongful detention of United States nationals abroad.
                 Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United
                 States nationals are heinous acts that undermine the
                 rule of law. Terrorist organizations, criminal groups,
                 and other malicious actors who take hostages for
                 financial, political, or other gain--as well as foreign
                 states that engage in the practice of wrongful
                 detention, including for political leverage or to seek
                 concessions from the United States--threaten the
                 integrity of the international political system and the
                 safety of United States nationals and other persons
                 abroad. Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of
                 United States nationals abroad continue to pose an
                 unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
                 security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
                 States. For this reason, the national emergency
                 declared in Executive Order 14078 of July 19, 2022,
                 must continue in effect beyond July 19, 2024.
                 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 14078 with respect to hostage-taking
                 and the wrongful detention of United States nationals
                 abroad.
                 This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
                 and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                 (Presidential Sig.)
                 THE WHITE HOUSE,
                 July 16, 2024.
