On July 31, 2014, the Federal Register published the Notice of July 29, 2014 – Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Lebanon. The notice extends for an additional year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13441 (August 1, 2007) pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706) because certain ongoing activities, such as continuing arms transfers to Hizballah that include increasingly sophisticated weapons systems, serve to undermine Lebanese sovereignty, contribute to political and economic instability in Lebanon, and continue to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. |
