                 Notice of December 18, 2019
                
                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                 Respect to Serious Human Rights Abuse and Corruption
                 On December 20, 2017, by Executive Order 13818, the
                 President declared a national emergency with respect to
                 serious human rights abuse and corruption around the
                 world and, pursuant to the International Emergency
                 Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), took
                 related steps to deal with the unusual and
                 extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign
                 policy, and economy of the United States.
                 The prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and
                 corruption that have their source, in whole or in
                 substantial part, outside the United States, 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 on December 20, 2017, must continue in effect
                 beyond December 20, 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 declared in Executive Order 13818
                 with respect to serious human rights abuse and
                 corruption.
                 This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
                 and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                 (Presidential Sig.)
                 THE WHITE HOUSE,
                 December 18, 2019.
