Executive Order 13219 of June 26, 2001
Blocking Property of Persons Who Threaten
International Stabilization Efforts in the Western
Balkans
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.)(IEEPA), the
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and
section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, have determined that the actions of persons
engaged in, or assisting, sponsoring, or supporting,
(i) extremist violence in the former Yugoslav Republic
of Macedonia, southern Serbia, the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia, and elsewhere in the Western Balkans
region, or (ii) acts obstructing implementation of the
Dayton Accords in Bosnia or United Nations Security
Council Resolution 1244 of June 10, 1999, in Kosovo,
threaten the peace in or diminish the security and
stability of those areas and the wider region,
undermine the authority, efforts, and objectives of the
United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO), and other international organizations and
entities present in those areas and the wider region,
and endanger the safety of persons participating in or
providing support to the activities of those
organizations and entities, including United States
military forces and Government officials. I find that
such actions constitute an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of
the United States, and hereby declare a national
emergency to deal with that threat. I hereby order:
Section 1. (a) Except to the extent provided in section
203(b)(1), (3), and (4) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(1),
(3), and (4)), the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export
Enhancement Act of 2000 (title IX, Public Law 106-387),
and in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses
that may hereafter be issued pursuant to this order,
and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any
license or permit granted prior to the effective date,
all property and interests in property of:
(i) the persons listed in the Annex to this order;
and
(ii) persons designated by the Secretary of the
Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State,
because they are found:
(A) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, acts
of violence that have the purpose or effect of threatening the peace in or
diminishing the stability or security of any area or state in the Western
Balkans region, undermining the authority, efforts, or objectives of
international organizations or entities present in the region, or
endangering the safety of persons participating in or providing support to
the activities of those international organizations or entities, or,
(B) to have actively obstructed, or to pose a significant risk of
actively obstructing, implementation of the Dayton Accords in Bosnia or
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 in Kosovo, or
(C) materially to assist in, sponsor, or provide financial or
technological support for, or goods or services in support of, such acts of
violence or obstructionism, or
(D) to be owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act directly
or indirectly for or on behalf of, any of the foregoing persons, that are
[[Page 34778]]
or hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come
within the possession or control of United States persons, are blocked and
may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in.
(b) I hereby determine that the making of donations
of the type specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50
U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by United States persons to persons
designated in or pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
section would seriously impair my ability to deal with
the national emergency declared in this order.
Accordingly, the blocking of property and interests in
property pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section
includes, but is not limited to, the prohibition of the
making by a United States person of any such donation
to any such designated person, except as otherwise
authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury.
(c) The blocking of property and interests in
property pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section
includes, but is not limited to, the prohibition of the
making or receiving by a United States person of any
contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services
to or for the benefit of a person designated in or
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section.
Sec. 2. Any transaction by a United States person that
evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or
avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the
prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited. Any
conspiracy formed to violate the prohibitions of this
order is prohibited.
Sec. 3. For the purposes of this order:
(a) The term ``person'' means an individual or
entity;
(b) The term ``entity'' means a partnership,
association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group,
subgroup, or other organization; and
(c) The term ``United States person'' means any
United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity
organized under the laws of the United States or any
jurisdiction within the United States (including
foreign branches), or any person in the United States.
Sec. 4. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to
take such actions, including the promulgation of rules
and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to me
by IEEPA, as may be necessary to carry out the purposes
of this order. The Secretary of the Treasury may
redelegate any of these functions to other officers and
agencies of the United States Government. All agencies
of the United States Government are hereby directed to
take all appropriate measures within their authority to
carry out the provisions of this order and, where
appropriate, to advise the Secretary of the Treasury in
a timely manner of the measures taken.
Sec. 5. This order is not intended to create, nor does
it create, any right, benefit, or privilege,
substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a
party against the United States, its agencies,
officers, or any other person.
Sec. 6. (a) This order is effective at 12:01 eastern
daylight time on June 27, 2001;

(b) This order shall be transmitted to the Congress
and published in the Federal Register.
