Notice of March 3, 2015

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to Zimbabwe

On March 6, 2003, by Executive Order 13288, the

President declared a national emergency and blocked the

property of certain persons, pursuant to the

International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.

1701-1706), to deal with the unusual and extraordinary

threat to the foreign policy of the United States

constituted by the actions and policies of certain

members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons

to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes or

institutions. These actions and policies had

contributed to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of

law in Zimbabwe, to politically motivated violence and

intimidation in that country, and to political and

economic instability in the southern African region.

On November 22, 2005, the President issued Executive

Order 13391 to take additional steps with respect to

the national emergency declared in Executive Order

13288 by ordering the blocking of the property of

certain persons who undermine democratic processes or

institutions in Zimbabwe.

can region.

On November 22, 2005, the President issued Executive

Order 13391 to take additional steps with respect to

the national emergency declared in Executive Order

13288 by ordering the blocking of the property of

certain persons who undermine democratic processes or

institutions in Zimbabwe.

On July 25, 2008, the President issued Executive Order

13469, which expanded the scope of the national

emergency declared in Executive Order 13288 and

authorized the blocking of the property of certain

persons determined to have engaged in actions or

policies to undermine democratic processes or

institutions in Zimbabwe, to commit acts of violence

and other human rights abuses against political

opponents, and to engage in public corruption.

The actions and policies of these persons continue to

pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign

policy of the United States. For this reason, the

national emergency declared on March 6, 2003, and the

measures adopted on that date, on November 22, 2005,

and on July 25, 2008, to deal with that emergency, must

continue in effect beyond March 6, 2015. 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 13288.
