Title 3— 

The President 

Notice of October 31, 2023 

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to 

Sudan 

On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the President declared 

a national emergency with respect to Sudan pursuant to the International 

Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and took related 

steps to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 

security and foreign policy of the United States posed by the actions and 

policies of the Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, by Executive 

Order 13400, the President determined that the conflict in Sudan’s Darfur 

region posed an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security 

and foreign policy of the United States, expanded the scope of the national 

emergency declared in Executive Order 13067, and ordered the blocking 

of property of certain persons connected to the Darfur region. On October 

13, 2006, by Executive Order 13412, the President took additional steps 

with respect to the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13067 

and expanded in Executive Order 13400. In Executive Order 13412, the 

President also took steps to implement the Darfur Peace and Accountability 

Act of 2006 (Public Law 109–344). 

On January 13, 2017, by Executive Order 13761, the President found that 

positive efforts by the Government of Sudan between July 2016 and January 

2017 improved certain conditions that Executive Orders 13067 and 13412 

were intended to address. Given these developments, and in order to encourage the Government of Sudan to sustain and enhance these efforts, section 

1 of Executive Order 13761 provided that sections 1 and 2 of Executive 

Order 13067 and the entirety of Executive Order 13412 would be revoked 

as of July 12, 2017, provided that the criteria in section 12(b) of Executive 

Order 13761 had been met. 

On July 11, 2017, by Executive Order 13804, the President amended Executive 

Order 13761, extending until October 12, 2017, the effective date in section 

1 of Executive Order 13761. On October 12, 2017, pursuant to Executive 

Order 13761, as amended by Executive Order 13804, sections 1 and 2 

of Executive Order 13067 and the entirety of Executive Order 13412 were 

revoked. 

On May 4, 2023, by Executive Order 14098, I further expanded the scope 

of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13067, finding that 

the situation in Sudan, including the military’s seizure of power in October 

2021 and the outbreak of inter-service fighting in April 2023, constituted 

an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign 

policy of the United States. 

The crisis that led to the declaration of a national emergency in Executive 

Order 13067 of November 3, 1997; the expansion of the scope of that 

emergency in Executive Order 13400 of April 26, 2006; the taking of additional steps with respect to that emergency in Executive Order 13412 of 

October 13, 2006, Executive Order 13761 of January 13, 2017, and Executive 

Order 13804 of July 11, 2017; and the further expansion of the scope of 

that emergency in Executive Order 14098 of May 4, 2023, has not been 

resolved. The policies and actions of the Government of Sudan, and the 

situation in Sudan and Darfur, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary 

threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. 

For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13067,
