The President

Notice of December 16, 2020

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Se-

rious 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 corrup-

tion around the world and, pursuant to the International Emergency Eco-

nomic 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, 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 13818 with

respect to serious human rights abuse and corruption.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to

the Congress.
