U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE
59-011 WASHINGTON : 2024
To the Congress of the United States:
Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C.
1622(d)) provides for the automatic termination of a national
emergency unless, within 90 days prior to the anniversary date
of its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal
Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that
the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary
date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent to the
Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice stating
that the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13818
of December 20, 2017, is to continue in effect beyond December
20, 2024.
The prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and
corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial
part, outside the United States, continue to threaten the
stability of international political and economic systems.
Human rights abuse and corruption undermine the values that
form an essential foundation of stable, secure, and functioning
societies; have devastating impacts on individuals; weaken
democratic institutions; degrade the rule of law; perpetuate
violent conflicts; facilitate the activities of dangerous
persons; undermine economic markets; and continue to pose an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security,
foreign policy, and economy of the United States.
Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to
continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13818 with respect to serious human rights abuse and
corruption.
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
The White House, December 11, 2024.
Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Serious Human
Rights Abuse and Corruption
On December 20, 2017, by Executive Order 13818, the
President declared a national emergency with respect to serious
human rights abuse and corruption around the world and,
pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), took related steps to deal with the
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security,
foreign policy, and economy of the United States.
The prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and
corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial
part, outside the United States, 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 on December 20, 2017, must continue
in effect beyond December 20, 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 13818 with respect to serious human
rights abuse and corruption.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
The White House, December 11, 2024.
