                Notice of January 15, 2025

                
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.
