Notice of February 7, 2024
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, I
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, and shelter and settlement
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, 2024. 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.
