The President

Notice of October 30, 2020

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to

Sudan

On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the President declared

a national emergency with respect to Sudan pursuant to the International

Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706) and took related

steps to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national

security and foreign policy of the United States posed by the actions and

policies of the Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, by Executive

Order 13400, the President determined that the conflict in Sudan’s Darfur

region posed an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security

and foreign policy of the United States, expanded the scope of the national

emergency declared in Executive Order 13067, and ordered the blocking

of property of certain persons connected to the Darfur region. On October

13, 2006, by Executive Order 13412, the President took additional steps

with respect to the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13067

and expanded in Executive Order 13400. In Executive Order 13412, the

President also took steps to implement the Darfur Peace and Accountability

Act of 2006 (Public Law 109–344).

On January 13, 2017, by Executive Order 13761, the President found that

positive efforts by the Government of Sudan between July 2016 and January

2017 improved certain conditions that Executive Orders 13067 and 13412

were intended to address. Given these developments, and in order to encour-

age the Government of Sudan to sustain and enhance these efforts, section

1 of Executive Order 13761 provided that sections 1 and 2 of Executive

Order 13067 and the entirety of Executive Order 13412 would be revoked

as of July 12, 2017, provided that the criteria in section 12(b) of Executive

Order 13761 had been met.

On July 11, 2017, by Executive Order 13804, I amended Executive Order

13761, extending until October 12, 2017, the effective date in section 1

of Executive Order 13761. On October 12, 2017, pursuant to Executive

Order 13761, as amended by Executive Order 13804, sections 1 and 2

of Executive Order 13067 and the entirety of Executive Order 13412 were

revoked.

Despite recent positive developments, the crisis constituted by the actions

and policies of the Government of Sudan that led to the declaration of

a national emergency in Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997; the

expansion of that emergency in Executive Order 13400 of April 26, 2006;

and, with respect to which additional steps were taken in Executive Order

13412 of October 13, 2006, Executive Order 13761 of January 13, 2017,

and Executive Order 13804 of July 11, 2017, has not been resolved. These

actions and policies continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat

to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. Therefore,

I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency

declared in Executive Order 13067, as expanded by Executive Order 13400,

with respect to Sudan.
