Notice of November 24, 2020

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to the Situation in Nicaragua

On November 27, 2018, by Executive Order 13851, I

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 situation in

Nicaragua.

The situation in Nicaragua, including the violent

response by the Government of Nicaragua to the protests

that began on April 18, 2018, and the Ortega regime's

systematic dismantling and undermining of democratic

institutions and the rule of law, its use of

indiscriminate violence and repressive tactics against

civilians, as well as its corruption leading to the

destabilization of Nicaragua's economy, continues to

pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the

national security and foreign policy of the Unite

institutions and the rule of law, its use of

indiscriminate violence and repressive tactics against

civilians, as well as its corruption leading to the

destabilization of Nicaragua's economy, 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 November 27, 2018, must continue in effect

beyond November 27, 2020. 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 13851

with respect to the situation in Nicaragua.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register

and transmitted to the Congress.

(Presidential Sig.)
