                Notice of July 16, 2024

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Hostage-Taking and the Wrongful Detention of 
                United States Nationals Abroad

                On July 19, 2022, by Executive Order 14078, I 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, foreign policy, and economy of 
                the United States constituted by hostage-taking and the 
                wrongful detention of United States nationals abroad.

                Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United 
                States nationals are heinous acts that undermine the 
                rule of law. Terrorist organizations, criminal groups, 
                and other malicious actors who take hostages for 
                financial, political, or other gain--as well as foreign 
                states that engage in the practice of wrongful 
                detention, including for political leverage or to seek 
                concessions from the United States--threaten the 
                integrity of the international political system and the 
                safety of United States nationals and other persons 
                abroad. Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of 
                United States nationals abroad continue to pose an 
                unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security, foreign policy, and economy of the United 
                States. For this reason, the national emergency 
                declared in Executive Order 14078 of July 19, 2022, 
                must continue in effect beyond July 19, 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 14078 with respect to hostage-taking 
                and the wrongful detention of United States nationals 
                abroad.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    July 16, 2024.
