                 Notice of April 3, 2020
                
                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                 Respect to Somalia
                 On April 12, 2010, by Executive Order 13536, the
                 President 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 and
                 foreign policy of the United States constituted by the
                 deterioration of the security situation and the
                 persistence of violence in Somalia, and acts of piracy
                 and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia,
                 which have been the subject of the United Nations
                 Security Council resolutions, and violations of the
                 arms embargo imposed by the United Nations Security
                 Council.
                 On July 20, 2012, the President issued Executive Order
                 13620 to take additional steps to deal with the
                 national emergency declared in Executive Order 13536 in
                 view of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2036
                 of February 22, 2012, and Resolution 2002 of July 29,
                 2011, and to address: exports of charcoal from Somalia,
                 which generate significant revenue for al-Shabaab; the
                 misappropriation of Somali public assets; and certain
                 acts of violence committed against civilians in
                 Somalia, all of which contribute to the deterioration
                 of the security situation and the persistence of
                 violence in Somalia.
                 The situation with respect to Somalia continues to pose
                 an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
                 security and foreign policy of the United States. For
                 this reason, the national emergency declared on April
                 12, 2010, and the measures adopted on that date and on
                 July 20, 2012, to deal with that emergency, must
                 continue in effect beyond April 12, 2020. 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 13536.
