Official record excerpt
Notice of July 20, 2017 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations I hereby withdraw the notice “Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations,” submitted on July 19, 2017, and submit in lieu thereof the following: On July 24, 2011, by Executive Order 13581 , the President declared a national emergency with respect to transnational criminal organizations pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1701-1706 ) 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 the significant transnational criminal organizations. The activities of significant transnational criminal organizations have reached such scope and gravity that they threaten the stability of international political and economic systems. Such organizations are increasingly sophisticated and dangerous to the United States; they are increasingly entrenched in the operations of foreign governments and the international financial system, thereby weakening democratic institutions, degrading the rule of law, and undermining economic markets. These organizations facilitate and aggravate violent civil conflicts and increasingly facilitate the activities of other dangerous persons. The activities of 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 this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13581 of July 24, 2011, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond July 24, 2017. 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 transnational criminal organizations declared in Executive Order 13581 .

How to use this page
This is a source-record entry, not a truth-rating by itself. It preserves the action, date and original government publication so it can be connected to later claims, implementation records, court decisions, costs and measurable outcomes. Editorial claim reviews on this site use separate finding labels and explain the evidence for those findings.
