Background 

On November 3, 1997 the President, 

invoking the authority of, inter alia, the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706) 

(‘‘IEEPA’’), issued Executive Order 

13067 (‘‘E.O. 13067’’). In E.O. 13067, the 

President declared a national emergency 

to deal with the Government of Sudan’s 

continued support of international 

terrorism; ongoing efforts to destabilize 

neighboring governments; and the 

prevalence there of human rights 

violations, including slavery and the 

denial of religious freedom. Section 1 of 

E.O. 13067 blocks, with certain 

exceptions, all property and interests in 

property of the Government of Sudan 

that are in the United States, that 

hereafter come within the United States, 

or that hereafter come within the 

possession or control of United States 

persons, including their overseas 

branches. Section 4 defines the term 

‘‘Government of Sudan’’ to include the 

Government of Sudan, its agencies, 

instrumentalities and controlled 

entities, and the Central Bank of Sudan. 

On October 13, 2006, the President, 

invoking the authority of, inter alia, 

IEEPA, issued Executive Order 13412 

(‘‘E.O. 13412’’), in order to take 

additional steps with respect to the 

national emergency declared in E.O. 

13067. Section 1 of E.O. 13412 restates 

the blocking of the Government of 

Sudan imposed by E.O. 13067. Section 

6 excludes the regional government of 

Southern Sudan from the definition of 

the Government of Sudan. 

On February 1, 2012, OFAC removed 

the entities listed below, whose 

property and interests in property were 

blocked pursuant to E.O. 13067 and E.O. 

13412 from the SDN List: 

1. PEOPLE’S CO-OPERATIVE BANK, P.O. 

Box 922, Khartoum, Sudan; [SUDAN] 

2. UNITY BANK, Bariman Avenue, P.O.
