                Presidential Determination No. 2012-01 of October 4, 
                2011

                
Certification and Determination With Respect to 
                the Child Soldiers Prevention Act of 2008

                Memorandum for the Secretary of State

                Pursuant to section 404 of the Child Soldiers 
                Prevention Act of 2008 (CSPA) (title IV, Public Law 
                110-457), I hereby: certify that the Government of Chad 
                has implemented measures that include an action plan 
                and actual steps to come into compliance with the 
                standards outlined in the CSPA, and has implemented 
                policies and mechanisms to prohibit and prevent future 
                government or government-supported use of child 
                soldiers and to ensure that no children are recruited, 
                conscripted, or otherwise compelled to serve as child 
                soldiers.

                I hereby determine that it is in the national interest 
                of the United States to waive the application of the 
                prohibition in section 404(a) of the CSPA with respect 
                to Yemen; and further determine that it is in the 
                national interest of the United States to waive in part 
                the application of the prohibition in section 404(a) of 
                the CSPA with respect to the Democratic Republic of the 
                Congo, to allow for continued provision of 
                International Military Education and Training and non-
                lethal Excess Defense Articles, and issuance of 
                licenses for direct commercial sales of military 
                equipment; and I hereby waive such provisions 
                accordingly.

                You are authorized and directed to submit this 
                determination to the Congress, along with the 
                accompanying Memorandum of Justification, and to 
                publish the determination in the Federal Register.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,
