Plain-language summary
Terminates the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13396 of February 7, 2006, regarding the situation in Côte d'Ivoire, and revokes that order. The order states that the emergency, originally declared due to civilian massacres, human rights abuses, political violence, and attacks on international peacekeeping forces, has been significantly altered by progress including the October 2015 presidential election, improved management of arms and related materiel, and efforts against illicit trafficking of natural resources, as well as the United Nations Security Council's removal of multilateral sanctions in Resolution 2283. It specifies that ending the emergency does not affect pending legal actions, proceedings, or matured rights and duties arising before the termination date, and does not create new enforceable rights against the United States. The order took effect at 8:00 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 14, 2016.

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, as amended (22 U.S.C. 287c), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code
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 13396, February 7, 2006
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
The order, in full
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

(22 U.S.C. 287c), and section 301 of title 3, United
States Code,
I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of
America, find that the situation that gave rise to the
declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order
13396 of February 7, 2006, with respect to the
situation in or in relation to C[ocirc]te d'Ivoire,
including the massacre of large numbers of civilians,
widespread human rights abuses, significant political
violence and unrest, and attacks against international
peacekeeping forces leading to fatalities, has been
significantly altered by the progress achieved in the
stabilization of C[ocirc]te d'Ivoire, including the
successful conduct of the October 2015 presidential
election, progress on the management of arms and
related materiel, and the combating of illicit
trafficking of natural resources. Accordingly, and in
view of the removal of multilateral sanctions by the
United Nations Security Council in Resolution 2283, I
hereby terminate the national emergency declared in
Executive Order 13396, revoke that order, and further
order:

U.S.C. 1622(a)), termination of the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13396 shall not affect any
action taken or proceeding pending not finally
concluded or determined as of the date that this order
is effective, any action or proceeding based on any act
committed prior to such date, or any rights or duties
that matured or penalties that were incurred prior to
such date.
Sec. 2. This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
Sec. 3. This order is effective at 8:00 a.m. eastern
daylight time on September 14, 2016.
