Official record excerpt
Notice of November 12, 2020 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Burundi On November 22, 2015, by Executive Order 13712 , the President declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the situation in Burundi, which has been marked by the killing of and violence against civilians, unrest, the incitement of imminent violence, and significant political repression, and which threatens the peace, security, and stability of Burundi and the region. I commend the new government and the people of Burundi for the recent historic peaceful transfer of power and encourage the new government to continue to engage with the United States and other countries to address the underlying actions and policies of the Government of Burundi that led to the declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order 13712 . At this time, however, I have not seen sufficient evidence that the situation is resolved. As such, the situation in Burundi continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared on November 22, 2015, to deal with that threat must continue in effect beyond November 22, 2020. 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 Burundi declared in Executive Order 13712 . This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. THE WHITE HOUSE, November 12, 2020. [ FR Doc. 2020-25309 Filed 11-12-20; 11:15 am] Billing code 3295-F1-P

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.
