Notice of April 4, 2018

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to Somalia

On April 12, 2010, by Executive Order 13536, 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 deterioration of

the security situation and the persistence of violence

in Somalia, acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off

the coast of Somalia--which have repeatedly been the

subject of United Nations Security Council

resolutions--and violations of the arms embargo imposed

by the United Nations Security Council.

the security situation and the persistence of violence

in Somalia, acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off

the coast of Somalia--which have repeatedly 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 additional 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 emergency, must

continue in effect beyond April 12, 2018. 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.
