Iraq in 2011
United States views on international law (based on the document “Digest of U.S. Practice in International Law”): On May 17, 2011, President Obama continued the national emergency declared by Executive Order 13302 with respect to the stabilization of Iraq. 76 Fed. Reg. 29,141 (May 19, 2011); Daily Comp. Pres. Docs., 2011 DCPD No. 00360. E.O. 13302 protects the Development Fund for Iraq and certain other property in which Iraq has an interest. In the Notice continuing the national emergency declared in E.O. 13302, President Obama stated:
Because the obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the country, and the development of political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303, as modified in scope and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Orders 13315, 13350, 13364, and 13438, must continue in effect beyond May 22, 2011. 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 with respect to the stabilization of Iraq.
