Notice of February 4, 2014

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Situation in or in Relation to Cocircte d'Ivoire

On February 7, 2006, by Executive Order 13396, the President declared a national emergency, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers 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 constituted by the situation in or in relation to Cocircte d'Ivoire and ordered related measures blocking the property of certain persons contributing to the conflict in Cocircte d'Ivoire. The situation in or in relation to Cocircte d'Ivoire, which has been addressed by the United Nations Security Council in Resolution 1572 of November 15, 2004, and subsequent resolutions, has resulted in the massacre of large numbers of civilians, widespread human rights abuses, significant political violence and unrest, and fatal attacks against international peacekeeping forces.

Since the inauguration of President Alassane Ouattara in May 2011, the Government of Cocircte d'Ivoire has made progress in advancing democratic freedoms and economic development. While the Government of Cocircte d'Ivoire and its people continue to make progress towards peace and prosperity, the situation in or in relation to Cocircte d'Ivoire 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 February 7, 2006, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond February 7, 2014. 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 13396.

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

(Presidential Sig.)

THE WHITE HOUSE,

February 4, 2014.
