Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011
Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United
Nations Security Council Travel Bans and International
Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
In light of the firm commitment of the United States to
the preservation of international peace and security
and our obligations under the United Nations Charter to
carry out the decisions of the United Nations Security
Council imposed under Chapter VII, I have determined
that it is in the interests of the United States to
suspend the entry into the United States, as immigrants
or nonimmigrants, of aliens who are subject to United
Nations Security Council travel bans as of the date of
this proclamation. I have further determined that the
interests of the United States are served by suspending
the entry into the United States, as immigrants or
nonimmigrants, of aliens whose property and interests
in property have been blocked by an Executive Order
issued in whole or in part pursuant to the President's
authority under the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, by the authority
vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, including section
212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952,
as amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title
3, United States Code hereby find that the unrestricted
immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States
of persons described in section 1 of this proclamation
would be detrimental to the interests of the United
States. I therefore hereby proclaim that:
Section 1. The entry into the United States, as
immigrants or nonimmigrants, of the following persons
is hereby suspended:
(a) Any alien who meets one or more of the specific
criteria for the imposition of a travel ban provided
for in a United Nations Security Council resolution
referenced in Annex A to this proclamation.
(b) Any alien who meets one or more of the specific
criteria contained in an Executive Order referenced in
Annex B to this proclamation.
Sec. 2. Persons covered by section 1 of this
proclamation shall be identified by the Secretary of
State or the Secretary's designee, in his or her sole
discretion, pursuant to such standards and procedures
as the Secretary may establish.
Sec. 3. The Secretary of State shall have
responsibility for implementing this proclamation
pursuant to such procedures as the Secretary, in
consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and
Secretary of Homeland Security, may establish.
Sec. 4. Section 1 of this proclamation shall not apply
with respect to any person otherwise covered by section
1 where entry of the person into the United States
would not be contrary to the interests of the United
States, as determined by the Secretary of State. In
exercising the functions and authorities in the
previous sentence, the Secretary of State shall consult
[[Page 44752]]
the Secretary of Homeland Security on matters related
to admissibility or inadmissibility within the
authority of the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Sec. 5. Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed
to require actions that would be inconsistent with the
United States obligations under applicable
international agreements.
Sec. 6. This proclamation is not intended to, and does
not, create any right or benefit, substantive or
procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any
party against the United States, its departments,
agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or
agents, or any other person.
Sec. 7. This proclamation is effective immediately and
shall remain in effect until such time as the Secretary
of State determines that it is no longer necessary and
should be terminated, either in whole or in part. Any
such termination shall become effective upon
publication in the Federal Register.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-fourth day of July, in the year of our Lord two
thousand eleven, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth.
(Presidential Sig.)
