Memorandum for the Secretary of State 

Consistent with section 110 of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 

2000 (22 U.S.C. 7107) (the ‘‘Act’’), as amended, I hereby determine as follows: 

As provided for in section 110(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that the United States

As provided for in section 110(d)(1)(B) of the Act, I hereby instruct the 

United States Executive Director of each multilateral development bank,

projects, activities, and funding for educational and cultural exchange programs described in sections 110(d)(1)(A) and 110(d)(1)(B) of the Act to

of the United States; 

Consistent with section 110(d)(4) of the Act, I determine that providing

Consistent with section 110(d)(4) of the Act, with respect to Sudan, I determine that a partial waiver of the restriction described in section

In addition, with respect to the Government of Sint Maarten, consistent 

with the United States Government’s firm stand against human trafficking, 

and until such government takes steps consistent with compliance with
