Notice of June 21, 2019
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to North Korea
On June 26, 2008, by Executive Order 13466, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to
North Korea 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 existence and risk of proliferation
of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean
Peninsula. The President also found that it was
necessary to maintain certain restrictions with respect
to North Korea that would otherwise have been lifted
pursuant to Proclamation 8271 of June 26, 2008, which
terminated the exercise of authorities under the
Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. App. 1-44) with
respect to North Korea.
On August 30, 2010, the President signed Executive
Order 13551, which expanded the scope of the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13466 to deal
with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security, foreign policy, and economy of the
United States posed by the continued actions and
policies of the Government of North Korea, manifested
by its unprovoked attack that resulted in the sinking
of the Republic of Korea Navy ship Cheonan and the
deaths of 46 sailors in March 2010; its announced test
of a nuclear device and its missile launches in 2009;
its actions in violation of United Nations Security
Council Resolutions 1718 and 1874, including the
procurement of luxury goods; and its illicit and
deceptive activities in international markets through
which it obtains financial and other support, including
money laundering, the counterfeiting of goods and
currency, bulk cash smuggling, and narcotics
trafficking, which destabilize the Korean Peninsula and
imperil United States Armed Forces, allies, and trading
partners in the region.
On April 18, 2011, the President signed Executive Order
13570 to take additional steps to address the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13466 and
expanded in Executive Order 13551 that would ensure the
implementation of the import restrictions contained in
United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1718 and
1874 and complement the import restrictions provided
for in the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et
seq.).
On January 2, 2015, the President signed Executive
Order 13687 to take further steps with respect to the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13466,
as expanded in Executive Order 13551, and addressed
further in Executive Order 13570, to address the threat
to the national security, foreign policy, and economy
of the United States constituted by the provocative,
destabilizing, and repressive actions and policies of
the Government of North Korea, including its
destructive, coercive cyber-related actions during
November and December 2014, actions in violation of
United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1718, 1874,
2087, and 2094, and commission of serious human rights
abuses.
On March 15, 2016, the President signed Executive Order
13722 to take additional steps with respect to the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13466,
as modified in scope and relied upon for additional
steps in subsequent Executive Orders, to address the
Government of North Korea's continuing pursuit of its
nuclear and missile programs, as evidenced by
[[Page 29794]]
its February 7, 2016 launch using ballistic missile
technology and its January 6, 2016 nuclear test in
violation of its obligations pursuant to numerous
United Nations Security Council resolutions and in
contravention of its commitments under the September
19, 2005 Joint Statement of the Six-Party Talks, that
increasingly imperils the United States and its allies.
On September 20, 2017, the President signed Executive
Order 13810 to take further steps with respect to the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13466,
as modified in scope and relied upon for additional
steps in subsequent Executive Orders, to address the
provocative, destabilizing, and repressive actions and
policies of the Government of North Korea, including
its intercontinental ballistic missile launches of July
3 and July 28, 2017, and its nuclear test of September
2, 2017; its commission of serious human rights abuses;
and its use of funds generated through international
trade to support its nuclear and missile programs and
weapons proliferation.
The existence and risk of proliferation of weapons-
usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula and the
actions and policies of the Government of North Korea
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 13466, expanded
in scope in Executive Order 13551, addressed further in
Executive Order 13570, further expanded in scope in
Executive Order 13687, and under which additional steps
were taken in Executive Order 13722, and Executive
Order 13810, and the measures taken to deal with that
national emergency, must continue in effect beyond June
26, 2019. 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 with
respect to North Korea declared in Executive Order
13466.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
