Notice of October 25, 2018

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to the Democratic Republic of the Congo

On October 27, 2006, by Executive Order 13413, the

President declared a national emergency with respect to

the situation in or in relation to the Democratic

Republic of the Congo and pursuant to the International

Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706),

ordered related measures blocking the property of

certain persons contributing to the conflict in that

country. The President took this action to deal with

the unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign

policy of the United States constituted by the

situation in or in relation to the Democratic Republic

of the Congo, which has been marked by widespread

violence and atrocities and continues to threaten

regional stability. The President took additional steps

to address this national emergency in Executive Order

13671 of July 8, 2014.

ted by the

situation in or in relation to the Democratic Republic

of the Congo, which has been marked by widespread

violence and atrocities and continues to threaten

regional stability. The President took additional steps

to address this national emergency in Executive Order

13671 of July 8, 2014.

The situation in or in relation to the Democratic

Republic of the Congo continues to pose an unusual and

extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the

United States. For this reason, the national emergency

declared in Executive Order 13413 of October 27, 2006,

and the measures adopted to deal with that emergency,

must continue in effect beyond October 27, 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 the situation in or in relation to the

Democratic Republic of the Congo declared in Executive

Order 13413, as amended by Executive Order 13671.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register

and transmitted to the Congress.
