U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE
29-011 WASHINGTON : 2022
The White House,
Washington, July 22, 2022.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Madam Speaker: Section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic
termination of a national emergency unless, within 90 days
prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress
a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect
beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision,
I have sent to the Federal Register for publication the
enclosed notice stating that the national emergency with
respect to the situation in Mali declared in Executive Order
13882 of July 26, 2019, is to continue in effect beyond July
26, 2022.
The situation in Mali, including repeated violations of
ceasefire arrangements made pursuant to the 2015 Agreement on
Peace and Reconciliation in Mali; the expansion of terrorist
activities into southern and central Mali; the intensification
of drug trafficking and trafficking in persons, human rights
abuses, and hostage-taking; a further coup d'etat; the presence
of foreign mercenaries threatening peace, security, and
stability; and the intensification of attacks against
civilians, the Malian defense and security forces, the United
Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in
Mali (MINUSMA), and international security presences, continues
to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States. Therefore, I
have determined that it is necessary to continue the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13882 with respect to the
situation in Mali.
Sincerely,
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Mali
On July 26, 2019, by Executive Order 13882, the President
declared a national emergency pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to deal
with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by
the situation in Mali.
The situation in Mali, including repeated violations of
ceasefire arrangements made pursuant to the 2015 Agreement on
Peace and Reconciliation in Mali; the expansion of terrorist
activities into southern and central Mali; the intensification
of drug trafficking and trafficking in persons, human rights
abuses, and hostage-taking; a further coup d'etat; the presence
of foreign mercenaries threatening peace, security, and
stability; and the intensification of attacks against
civilians, the Malian defense and security forces, the United
Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in
Mali (MINUSMA), and international security presences, continues
to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States. For this
reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13882 on July 26, 2019, must continue in effect beyond July 26,
2022. Therefore, 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 in Executive Order
13882 with respect to the situation in Mali.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
The White House, July 22, 2022.
