                Notice of March 1, 2013

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to the Situation in Zimbabwe

                On March 6, 2003, by Executive Order 13288, the 
                President declared a national emergency and blocked the 
                property of persons undermining democratic processes or 
                institutions in Zimbabwe, pursuant to the International 
                Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). He 
                took this action to deal with the unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the 
                United States constituted by the actions and policies 
                of certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and 
                other persons to undermine Zimbabwe's democratic 
                processes or institutions. These actions and policies 
                had contributed to the deliberate breakdown in the rule 
                of law in Zimbabwe, to politically motivated violence 
                and intimidation in that country, and to political and 
                economic instability in the southern African region.

                On November 22, 2005, the President issued Executive 
                Order 13391 to take additional steps with respect to 
                the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
                13288 by ordering the blocking of the property of 
                additional persons undermining democratic processes or 
                institutions in Zimbabwe.

                On July 25, 2008, the President issued Executive Order 
                13469, which expanded the scope of the national 
                emergency declared in Executive Order 13288 and ordered 
                the blocking of the property of additional persons 
                undermining democratic processes or institutions in 
                Zimbabwe.

                The actions and policies of these persons continue to 
                pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign 
                policy of the United States. For this reason, the 
                national emergency declared on March 6, 2003, and the 
                measures adopted on that date, on November 22, 2005, 
                and on July 25, 2008, to deal with that emergency, must 
                continue in effect beyond March 6, 2013. 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 13288.
