Notice of July 7, 2021
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations
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 et seq.) 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 significant transnational criminal
organizations.
On March 15, 2019, by Executive Order 13863, the
President took additional steps to deal with the
national emergency with respect to significant
transnational criminal organizations in view of the
evolution of these organizations as well as the
increasing sophistication of their activities, which
threaten international political and economic systems
and pose a direct threat to the safety and welfare of
the United States and its citizens, and given the
ability of these organizations to derive revenue
through widespread illegal conduct, including acts of
violence and abuse that exhibit a wanton disregard for
human life as well as many other crimes enriching and
empowering these organizations.
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 these
reasons, the national emergency declared in Executive
Order 13581 of July 24, 2011, under which additional
steps were taken in Executive Order 13863 of March 15,
2019, must continue in effect beyond July 24, 2021.
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 significant transnational criminal
organizations declared in Executive Order 13581.
