BILLING CODE 6351-01-P 89 138 Thursday, July 18, 2024 Presidential Documents Part III The President Notice of July 16, 2024—Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Hostage-Taking and the Wrongful Detention of United States Nationals Abroad Notice of July 16, 2024—Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Mali Notice of July 16, 2024—Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations Title 3— The President Notice of July 16, 2024 Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Hostage-Taking and the Wrongful Detention of United States Nationals Abroad On July 19, 2022, by Executive Order 14078, 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, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United States nationals abroad.
Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United States nationals are heinous acts that undermine the rule of law. Terrorist organizations, criminal groups, and other malicious actors who take hostages for financial, political, or other gain—as well as foreign states that engage in the practice of wrongful detention, including for political leverage or to seek concessions from the United States—threaten the integrity of the international political system and the safety of United States nationals and other persons abroad.
Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United States nationals abroad continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14078 of July 19, 2022, must continue in effect beyond July 19, 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 14078 with respect to hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United States nationals abroad.
This notice shall be published in the *Federal Register* and transmitted to the Congress. BIDEN.EPS THE WHITE HOUSE, July 16, 2024. [FR Doc. 2024-16021 Filed 7-17-24; 11:15 am]
