Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to the Actions and Policies of Certain Members

of the Government of Belarus and Other Persons To

Undermine Democratic Processes or Institutions of

Belarus

On June 16, 2006, by Executive Order 13405, 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 actions and

policies of certain members of the Government of

Belarus and other persons to undermine Belarus's

democratic processes or institutions, manifested in the

fundamentally undemocratic March 2006 elections; to

commit human rights abuses related to political

repression, including detentions and disappearances;

and to engage in public corruption, including by

diverting or misusing Belarusian public assets or by

misusing public authority.

anifested in the

fundamentally undemocratic March 2006 elections; to

commit human rights abuses related to political

repression, including detentions and disappearances;

and to engage in public corruption, including by

diverting or misusing Belarusian public assets or by

misusing public authority.

The actions and policies of certain members of the

Government of Belarus and other persons continue 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 June 16, 2006, and the measures adopted on

that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in

effect beyond June 16, 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 13405.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register

and transmitted to the Congress.

(Presidential Sig.)
