                Executive Order 13739 September 14, 2016

                
Termination of Emergency With Respect to the 
                Situation in or in Relation to C[ocirc]te d'Ivoire

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including the International Emergency Economic 
                Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National 
                Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 
                5 of the United Nations Participation Act, as amended 
                (22 U.S.C. 287c), and section 301 of title 3, United 
                States Code,

                I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of 
                America, find that the situation that gave rise to the 
                declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order 
                13396 of February 7, 2006, with respect to the 
                situation in or in relation to C[ocirc]te d'Ivoire, 
                including the massacre of large numbers of civilians, 
                widespread human rights abuses, significant political 
                violence and unrest, and attacks against international 
                peacekeeping forces leading to fatalities, has been 
                significantly altered by the progress achieved in the 
                stabilization of C[ocirc]te d'Ivoire, including the 
                successful conduct of the October 2015 presidential 
                election, progress on the management of arms and 
                related materiel, and the combating of illicit 
                trafficking of natural resources. Accordingly, and in 
                view of the removal of multilateral sanctions by the 
                United Nations Security Council in Resolution 2283, I 
                hereby terminate the national emergency declared in 
                Executive Order 13396, revoke that order, and further 
                order:

                Section 1. Pursuant to section 202(a) of the NEA (50 
                U.S.C. 1622(a)), termination of the national emergency 
                declared in Executive Order 13396 shall not affect any 
                action taken or proceeding pending not finally 
                concluded or determined as of the date that this order 
                is effective, any action or proceeding based on any act 
                committed prior to such date, or any rights or duties 
                that matured or penalties that were incurred prior to 
                such date.

                Sec. 2. This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.

                daylight time on September 14, 2016.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
