Plain-language summary
Terminates the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13712 of November 22, 2015, which had blocked property of certain persons contributing to violence and political repression in Burundi, and revokes that order. The order finds that the situation has changed significantly due to a 2020 transfer of power following elections, reduced violence, and reform efforts by President Ndayishimiye. As a result, the suspension of entry into the United States for immigrants and nonimmigrants covered under the earlier order's criteria ends immediately, and those individuals will no longer be treated as subject to Presidential Proclamation 8693 of 2011 regarding UN and sanctions-related travel bans. The termination does not affect pending legal actions, proceedings, or rights and penalties that arose before this order, and does not alter existing agency authority or create new enforceable rights for any party.

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

Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.

significant political repression, which threatened the
peace, security, and stability of Burundi, has been
