The President

Notice of April 1, 2021

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to So-

malia

On April 12, 2010, by Executive Order 13536, the President declared a

national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Pow-

ers 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 con-

stituted 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 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 addi-

tional 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 threat, must continue in effect beyond April 12, 2021. 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.
