Notice of February 3, 2023
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Widespread Humanitarian Crisis in
Afghanistan and the Potential for a Deepening Economic
Collapse in Afghanistan
On February 11, 2022, by Executive Order 14064, the
President declared a national emergency 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 and
foreign policy of the United States constituted by the
widespread humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and the
potential for a deepening economic collapse in
Afghanistan.
The widespread humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan--
including the urgent needs of the people of Afghanistan
for food security, livelihoods support, water,
sanitation, health, hygiene, shelter and settlement
assistance, and COVID-19-related assistance, among
other basic human needs--and the potential for a
deepening economic collapse in Afghanistan continue to
pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the
national security and foreign policy of the United
States. In addition, the preservation of certain
property of Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) held in the
United States by United States financial institutions
is of the utmost importance to addressing this national
emergency and the welfare of the people of Afghanistan.
Various parties, including representatives of victims
of terrorism, have asserted legal claims against
certain property of DAB or indicated in public court
filings an intent to make such claims. This property is
blocked under Executive Order 14064.
For these reasons, the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 14064 of February 11, 2022, must
continue in effect beyond February 11, 2023. 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 declared in Executive
Order 14064 with respect to the widespread humanitarian
crisis in Afghanistan and the potential for a deepening
economic collapse in Afghanistan.
