Notice of July 20, 2018

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations

On July 24, 2011, by Executive Order 13581, the

President declared a national emergency with respect to

transnational criminal organizations 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, foreign policy, and

economy of the United States constituted by the

activities of significant transnational criminal

organizations.

izations 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, foreign policy, and

economy of the United States constituted by the

activities of significant transnational criminal

organizations.

The activities of significant transnational criminal

organizations have reached such scope and gravity that

they threaten the stability of international political

and economic systems. Such organizations are

increasingly sophisticated and dangerous to the United

States; they are increasingly entrenched in the

operations of foreign governments and the international

financial system, thereby weakening democratic

institutions, degrading the rule of law, and

undermining economic markets. These organizations

facilitate and aggravate violent civil conflicts and

increasingly facilitate the activities of other

dangerous persons.

The activities of significant transnational criminal

organizations continue to pose an unusual and

extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign

policy, and economy of the United States. For this

reason, the national emergency declared in Executive

Order 13581 of July 24, 2011, and the measures adopted

on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue

in effect beyond July 24, 2018. Therefore, in

accordance with section 202(d) of the National

Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C

tates. For this

reason, the national emergency declared in Executive

Order 13581 of July 24, 2011, and the measures adopted

on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue

in effect beyond July 24, 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 with respect to

transnational criminal organizations declared in

Executive Order 13581.
