Executive Order 13660 of March 6, 2014
Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing
to the Situation in Ukraine
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.)
(NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section
301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of
America, find that the actions and policies of persons
including persons who have asserted governmental
authority in the Crimean region without the
authorization of the Government of Ukraine that
undermine democratic processes and institutions in
Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability,
sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute
to the misappropriation of its assets, constitute an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States, and I
hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that
threat. I hereby order:
Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property
that are in the United States, that hereafter come
within the United States, or that are or hereafter come
within the possession or control of any United States
person (including any foreign branch) of the following
persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid,
exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: any person
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
consultation with the Secretary of State:
(i) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have engaged in, directly
or indirectly, any of the following:
(A) actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions
in Ukraine;
(B) actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, stability,
sovereignty, or territorial integrity of Ukraine; or
(C) misappropriation of state assets of Ukraine or of an economically
significant entity in Ukraine;
(ii) to have asserted governmental authority over any part or region of
Ukraine without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine;
(iii) to be a leader of an entity that has, or whose members have, engaged
in any activity described in subsection (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this section
or of an entity whose property and interests in property are blocked
pursuant to this order;
(iv) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial,
material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in
support of, any activity described in subsection (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this
section or any person whose property and interests in property are blocked
pursuant to this order; or
(v) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for
or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and
interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order.
(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this
section apply except to the extent provided by
statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or
[[Page 13494]]
licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and
notwithstanding any contract entered into or any
license or permit granted prior to the effective date
of this order.
Sec. 2. I hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant
and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens
determined to meet one or more of the criteria in
subsection 1(a) of this order would be detrimental to
the interests of the United States, and I hereby
suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants or
nonimmigrants, of such persons. Such persons shall be
treated as persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation
8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens
Subject to United Nations Security Council Travel Bans
and International Emergency Economic Powers Act
Sanctions).
Sec. 3. I hereby determine that the making of donations
of the type of articles specified in section 203(b)(2)
of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the
benefit of any person whose property and interests in
property are blocked pursuant to section 1 of this
order would seriously impair my ability to deal with
the national emergency declared in this order, and I
hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1
of this order.
Sec. 4. The prohibitions in section 1 of this order
include but are not limited to:
(a) the making of any contribution or provision of
funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of
any person whose property and interests in property are
blocked pursuant to this order; and
(b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of
funds, goods, or services from any such person.
Sec. 5. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has
the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation
of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set
forth in this order is prohibited.
(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the
prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
Sec. 6. 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. 7. For those persons whose property and interests
in property are blocked pursuant to this order who
might have a constitutional presence in the United
States, I find that because of the ability to transfer
funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to
such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this
order would render those measures ineffectual. I
therefore determine that for these measures to be
effective in addressing the national emergency declared
in this order, there need be no prior notice of a
listing or determination made pursuant to section 1 of
this order.
Sec. 8. 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
the President 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
consistent with applicable law. 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.
Sec. 9. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to
submit the recurring and final reports
[[Page 13495]]
to the Congress on the national emergency declared in
this order, consistent with section 401(c) of the NEA
(50 U.S.C. 1641(c)) and section 204(c) of IEEPA (50
U.S.C. 1703(c)).
Sec. 10. 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.
