Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect To the
ˆ
Situation In or In Relation To Cote d’Ivoire
dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with RULES6
On February 7, 2006, by Executive Order 13396, the President declared
a national emergency and ordered related measures blocking the property
ˆ
of certain persons contributing to the conflict in Cote d’Ivoire, pursuant
to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706).
The President took this action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States conˆ
stituted by the situation in or in relation to Cote d’Ivoire, which has been
addressed by the United Nations Security Council in Resolution 1572 of
November 15, 2004, and subsequent resolutions, and has resulted in the
massacre of large numbers of civilians, widespread human rights abuses,
significant political violence and unrest, and attacks against international
peacekeeping forces leading to fatalities. Because the situation in or in
ˆ
relation to Cote d’Ivoire continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States,
the national emergency declared on February 7, 2006, and the measures
adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect
beyond February 7, 2009.
