NOTICE
- - - - - - CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO
TRANSNATIONAL CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS
On July 24, 2011, by Executive Order 13581, 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, foreign policy, and economy of the United States
constituted by the activities of significant transnational
criminal organizations.
On March 15, 2019, by Executive Order 13863, the President
took additional steps to deal with the national emergency with
respect to significant transnational criminal organizations in
view of the evolution of these organizations as well as the
increasing sophistication of their activities, which threaten
international political and economic systems and pose a direct
threat to the safety and welfare of the United States and its
citizens, and given the ability of these organizations to derive
revenue through widespread illegal conduct, including acts of
violence and abuse that exhibit a wanton disregard for human
life as well as many other crimes enriching and empowering these
organizations.

2
Significant transnational criminal organizations continue
to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.

For

these reasons, the national emergency declared in Executive
Order 13581 on July 24, 2011, under which additional steps were
taken in Executive Order 13863 on March 15, 2019, must continue
in effect beyond July 24, 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 with
respect to significant transnational criminal organizations
declared in Executive Order 13581.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
