Executive Order  13466  of June 26,  2008

 

Continuing   Certain  Restrictions With  Respect   to  North  Korea and  North  Korean  Nationals

 

 

By  the   authority  vested in   me  as  President  by  the   Constitution  and   the laws  of the  United States of America, including the  International Emergency Economic Powers Act  (50  U.S.C.  1701  et  seq.)  (IEEPA),  the  National  Emer- gencies  Act   (50  U.S.C.   1601   et  seq.)   (NEA),  and   section  301   of  title   3, United States Code,

I, GEORGE  W.  BUSH,  President of  the  United States of  America, find  that the  current existence and  risk  of the  proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on  the  KoreanPeninsula constitute an  unusual and   extraordinary threat  to   the   national  security  and   foreign  policy  of  the   United  States, and  I hereby declare a national emergency to  deal  with that  threat. I further find   that,   as  we  deal   with that   threat through multilateral diplomacy, it is  necessary  to  continue  certain  restrictions  with  respect to  North  Korea that  would otherwise be  lifted pursuant to  a forthcoming proclamation that will  terminate the  exercise of authorities under the  Trading With  the  Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. App.  1 et seq.) (TWEA) with respect to North Korea.

101(b)  of  Public Law  95–223 (91  Stat.   1625;  50  U.S.C.  App.   5(b)  note), were   blocked  as  of  June   16,  2000,   and   remained  blocked immediately prior to the date  ofthis  order.

Sec.  2.  Except to  the  extent provided in  statutes or  in  regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that  may  be issued pursuant to this  order, and  notwith- standing any  contractentered into   or  any  license or  permit granted prior to  the  date   of  this   order, United States persons may  not  register a  vessel in  North Korea,   obtain authorization  for  a  vessel to  fly  the  North  Korean flag,  or  own,   lease,   operate, or  insure any  vessel flagged   by  North  Korea.

Sec.  3.  (a)  Any  transaction by  a  United States person or  within the  United States that   evades or  avoids, has   the   purpose of  evading or  avoiding,  or attempts to violateany  of the  prohibitions set forth  in this  order is prohibited.

(b)  Any  conspiracy  formed to  violate any   of  the   prohibitions set  forth   in this  order is prohibited.

Sec. 4. For the purposes of this  order:

13466   of  June   26,  2008,   finding  that   the   continued  actions and   policies of   the    Government  of   North  Korea,    manifested  most    recently  by   its unprovoked  attack that   resulted in  the   sinking  of  the   Republic  of  Korea Navy  ship Cheonan and  the  deaths of 46 sailors in March 2010; its announced test   of  a  nuclear  device and   its  missile launches  in  2009;   its  actions in violation of  UNSCRs  1718  and   1874,  including the  procurement of  luxury goods;  and  its illicit and  deceptive activities in international markets through which it  obtains financial and  other support, including money laundering, the  counterfeiting of goods  and  currency, bulk  cash  smuggling, and  narcotics trafficking, destabilize the  Korean peninsula and  imperil U.S.  Armed Forces, allies, and  trading partners in  the  region, and  thereby constitute an  unusual and extraordinary threatto the  national security, foreign policy, and  economy of the United States.

I hereby order:

Sec.   8.  This   order  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, agents, or any other person.
