Notice--Continuation of Emergency With Respect to UNITA
September 24, 2001
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 by President Clinton on September 26, 1993, by Executive Order
12865, to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign
policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of
the National Union for the
[[Page 1371]]
Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). The order prohibits the sale or
supply by United States persons or from the United States, or using U.S.
registered vessels or aircraft, of arms, related materiel of all types,
petroleum, and petroleum products to the territory of Angola, other than
through designated points of entry. The order also prohibits the sale or
supply of such commodities to UNITA.
President Clinton took additional measures with respect to the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 12865 by issuing
Executive Orders 13069 and 13098 on December 12, 1997, and August 18,
1998, respectively. Those orders close all UNITA offices in the United
States, block all property and interests in property of UNITA and
designated UNITA officials and adult members of their immediate
families, prohibit the importation of certain diamonds exported from
Angola, and impose additional sanctions with respect to the provision of
mining and transportation equipment and services.
Because of our continuing international obligations and the
prejudicial effect that discontinuation of the sanctions would have on
prospects for peace in Angola, the national emergency declared on
September 26, 1993, and the measures adopted pursuant thereto to deal
with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 26, 2001.
Therefore, I am continuing the national emergency with respect to UNITA.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
