Notice of December 18, 2018

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to Serious Human Rights Abuse and Corruption

On December 20, 2017, by Executive Order 13818, the

President declared a national emergency with respect to

serious human rights abuse and corruption around the

world and, pursuant to the International Emergency

Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), took

related steps to deal with the unusual and

extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign

policy, and economy of the United States.

to

serious human rights abuse and corruption around the

world and, pursuant to the International Emergency

Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), took

related steps to deal with the unusual and

extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign

policy, and economy of the United States.

The prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and

corruption that have their source, in whole or in

substantial part, outside the United States, 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 on December 20, 2017, must continue in effect

beyond December 20, 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 13818

with respect to serious human rights abuse and

corruption.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register

and transmitted to the Congress.

(Presidential Sig.)
