Notice of July 16, 2024

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to Hostage-Taking and the Wrongful Detention of

United States Nationals Abroad

On July 19, 2022, by Executive Order 14078, I declared

a national emergency pursuant to the International

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

to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to

the national security, foreign policy, and economy of

the United States constituted by hostage-taking and the

wrongful detention of United States nationals abroad.

nal emergency pursuant to the International

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

to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to

the national security, foreign policy, and economy of

the United States constituted by hostage-taking and the

wrongful detention of United States nationals abroad.

Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United

States nationals are heinous acts that undermine the

rule of law. Terrorist organizations, criminal groups,

and other malicious actors who take hostages for

financial, political, or other gain--as well as foreign

states that engage in the practice of wrongful

detention, including for political leverage or to seek

concessions from the United States--threaten the

integrity of the international political system and the

safety of United States nationals and other persons

abroad. Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of

United States nationals abroad 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 14078 of July 19, 2022,

must continue in effect beyond July 19, 2024.

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 14078 with respect to hostage-taking

and the wrongful detention of United States nationals

abroad.

t beyond July 19, 2024.

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 14078 with respect to hostage-taking

and the wrongful detention of United States nationals

abroad.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register

and transmitted to the Congress.

(Presidential Sig.)
