                Notice of February 5, 2008

                
Continuation of the National Emergency Blocking 
                Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the 
                Conflict in Cote d'Ivoire

                On February 7, 2006, by Executive Order 13396, I 
                declared a national emergency and ordered related 
                measures blocking the property of certain persons 
                contributing to the conflict in Cote d'Ivoire, pursuant 
                to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 
                U.S.C. 1701-1706). I 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 situation in or in relation to Cote 
                d'Ivoire, which has been addressed by the United 
                Nations Security Council in Resolution 1572 of November 
                15, 2004, and subsequent resolutions, and has resulted 
                in the massacre of large numbers of civilians, 
                widespread human rights abuses, significant political 
                violence and unrest, and attacks against international 
                peacekeeping forces leading to fatalities. Because the 
                situation in or in relation to Cote d'Ivoire continues 
                to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
                national security and foreign policy of the United 
                States, the national emergency declared on February 7, 
                2006, and the measures adopted on that date to deal 
                with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond 
                February 7, 2008. 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 13396.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    February 5, 2008.
