                Notice of June 13, 2024

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Belarus

                On June 16, 2006, by Executive Order 13405, the 
                President 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 and 
                foreign policy of the United States constituted by the 
                actions and policies of certain members of the 
                Government of Belarus and other persons to undermine 
                Belarus's democratic processes or institutions, 
                manifested in the fundamentally undemocratic March 2006 
                elections; to commit human rights abuses related to 
                political repression, including detentions and 
                disappearances; and to engage in public corruption, 
                including by diverting or misusing Belarusian public 
                assets or by misusing public authority.

                On August 9, 2021, by Executive Order 14038, I expanded 
                the scope of the national emergency declared in 
                Executive Order 13405, finding that the Belarusian 
                regime's harmful activities and long-standing abuses 
                aimed at suppressing democracy and the exercise of 
                human rights and fundamental freedoms in Belarus--
                including illicit and oppressive activities stemming 
                from the August 9, 2020, fraudulent Belarusian 
                presidential election and its aftermath, such as the 
                elimination of political opposition and civil society 
                organizations and the regime's disruption and 
                endangering of international civil air travel--
                constituted an unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
                national security and foreign policy of the United 
                States.

                The actions and policies of certain members of the 
                Government of Belarus and other persons, and the 
                Belarusian regime's harmful activities and long-
                standing abuses, continue 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 in Executive Order 
                13405, which was expanded in scope in Executive Order 
                14038, must continue in effect beyond June 16, 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 13405.
