Notice of June 8, 2010
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to the Actions and Policies of Certain Members
of the Government of Belarus and Other Persons That
Undermine Democratic Processes or Institutions in Belarus
On June 16, 2006, by Executive Order 13405, the
President declared a national emergency and ordered
related measures blocking the property of certain
persons undermining democratic processes or
institutions in Belarus, pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706).
The President took this action to deal with the unusual
and extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States constituted by the
actions and policies of certain members of the
Government of Belarus and other persons to undermine
Belarus democratic processes or institutions, to commit
human rights abuses related to political repression,
including detentions and disappearances, and to engage
in public corruption, including by diverting or
misusing Belarusian public assets or by misusing public authority.
Despite the release of internationally recognized
political prisoners in the fall of 2008 and our
continuing efforts to press for further reforms related
to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law in
Belarus, serious challenges remain. The actions and
policies of certain members of the Government of
Belarus and other persons continue to pose an unusual
and extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States. Accordingly, the
national emergency declared on June 16, 2006, and the
measures adopted on that date to deal with that
emergency, must continue in effect beyond June 16,
2010. 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 13405.
