Legal standing
Not yet published. Court challenges, injunctions and rulings tied to individual orders will appear here once each can be linked to its source record.
Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.
Claimed authority
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.), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (22 U.S.C. 287c), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and in view of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1448 of December 9, 2002
Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
Disposition
Revokes: EO 12865, September 26, 1993; EO 13069, December 12, 1997; EO 13098, August 18, 1998
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.

Actions and Policies of Unita and Revocation of Related
Executive Orders

Constitution and the laws of the United States of

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National

United States Code, and in view of United Nations
Security Council Resolution 1448 of December 9, 2002,
I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, find that the situation that gave rise to the
declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order
12865 of September 26, 1993, with respect to the

the steps taken in that order and in Executive Order
13069 of December 12, 1997, and Executive Order 13098
of August 18, 1998, has been significantly altered by
the recent and continuing steps toward peace taken by
the Government of Angola and UNITA. Accordingly, I
hereby terminate the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 12865, revoke Executive Orders 12865,
13069, and 13098, and order:

on any act committed prior to the effective date of
this order, or any rights or duties that matured or
penalties that were incurred prior to the effective
date of this order.
