On May 15, 2015, the Federal Register published the President’s Notice of May 13, 2015 – Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Yemen which extends for an additional year the national emergency originally declared in Executive Order (E.O.) 13611 on May 16, 2012 to deal with the “unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Yemen and others that threatened Yemen’s peace, security, and stability, including by obstructing the implementation of the agreement of November 23, 2011, between the Government of Yemen and those in opposition to it, which provided for a peaceful transition of power that meets the legitimate demands and aspirations of the Yemeni people for change, and by obstructing the political process in Yemen.” The national emergency is being extended for an additional year because the actions and policies of certain members of the Government of Yemen and others in threatening Yemen’s peace, security, and stability continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
