Presidential Notice 13396

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect To the Situation In or In Relation To C[ocirc]te d'Ivoire

President Obama continued for one year the national emergency declared by Executive Order 13396 in 2006 regarding the conflict in Côte d'Ivoire, maintaining sanctions that block property of certain persons contributing to the conflict. The continuation is based on the ongoing threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy from continued violence, human rights abuses, and political instability in the region.
