                Notice of March 29, 2021

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to South Sudan

                On April 3, 2014, by Executive Order 13664, 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 situation in and 
                in relation to South Sudan, which has been marked by 
                activities that threaten the peace, security, or 
                stability of South Sudan and the surrounding region, 
                including widespread violence and atrocities, human 
                rights abuses, recruitment and use of child soldiers, 
                attacks on peacekeepers, and obstruction of 
                humanitarian operations.

                The situation in and in relation to South Sudan 
                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 April 3, 2014, must continue in effect 
                beyond April 3, 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 13664.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    March 29, 2021.
