Summary
This order ends the national emergency declared in 2004 about the actions and policies of former Liberian President Charles Taylor and revokes that earlier executive order.
It says Liberia has made significant progress, including democratic elections and Taylor's conviction, and therefore the emergency is no longer warranted. The order preserves any actions, proceedings, rights, or penalties that arose before this termination so ongoing cases continue.
