Notice of July 12, 2023
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Hostage-Taking and the Wrongful Detention of
United States Nationals Abroad
On July 19, 2022, by Executive Order 14078, 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, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States constituted by
hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United
States nationals abroad.
Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United
States nationals are heinous acts that undermine the
rule of law. Terrorist organizations, criminal groups,
and other malicious actors who take hostages for
financial, political, or other gain--as well as foreign
states that engage in the practice of wrongful
detention, including for political leverage or to seek
concessions from the United States--threaten the
integrity of the international political system and the
safety of United States nationals and other persons
abroad. Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of
United States nationals abroad continue to pose an
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
States. For this reason, the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 14078 of July 19, 2022,
must continue in effect beyond July 19, 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 14078 with respect to hostage-taking
and the wrongful detention of United States nationals
abroad.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.
