                Notice of February 11, 2021

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Libya

                On February 25, 2011, by Executive Order 13566, the 
                President 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 actions of Colonel 
                Muammar Qadhafi, his government, and close associates, 
                which took extreme measures against the people of 
                Libya, including by using weapons of war, mercenaries, 
                and wanton violence against unarmed civilians. In 
                addition, there was a serious risk that Libyan state 
                assets would be misappropriated by Qadhafi, members of 
                his government, members of his family, or his close 
                associates if those assets were not protected. The 
                foregoing circumstances, the prolonged attacks, and the 
                increased numbers of Libyans seeking refuge in other 
                countries from the attacks caused a deterioration in 
                the security of Libya and posed a serious risk to its 
                stability.

                The situation in Libya continues to pose an unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security and 
                foreign policy of the United States, and measures are 
                needed to protect against the diversion of assets or 
                other abuses by members of Qadhafi's family, their 
                associates, and other persons hindering Libyan national 
                reconciliation.

                For this reason, the national emergency declared on 
                February 25, 2011, must continue in effect beyond 
                February 25, 2021. 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 13566.
