Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to South Sudan

On April 3, 2014, by Executive Order 13664, I declared

a national emergency to deal with the unusual and

extraordinary threat to the national security and

foreign policy of the United States constituted by the

situation in and in relation to South Sudan, which has

been marked by activities that threaten the peace,

security, or stability of South Sudan and the

surrounding region, including widespread violence and

atrocities, human rights abuses, recruitment and use of

child soldiers, attacks on peacekeepers, and

obstruction of humanitarian operations.

The situation in and in relation to South Sudan

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 3, 2014, to deal with that threat

must continue in effect beyond April 3, 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 13664.
