President Extends Sudan Sanctions for Another Year

The President has issued a notice and message to Congress continuing for one year, until November 3, 2012, the national emergency in Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997 with respect to the Government of Sudan, and the expansion of that emergency in EO 13400 of April 26, 2006, with respect to which additional steps were taken in EO 13412 of October 13, 2006. As the crisis that led to the declaration of a national emergency has not been resolved, the President determines it necessary to continue the national emergency and maintain in force the sanctions against Sudan to respond to this threat.
