Summary
This notice continues a national emergency first declared in 1993 to address actions by UNITA. It keeps bans on U.S. persons, U.S.-based shipments, and U.S.-registered ships and planes from selling or supplying arms, related military goods, and petroleum to Angola except through designated entry points. It also bars sales or supplies directly to UNITA.
This affects U.S. individuals and companies, carriers using U.S.-registered ships or planes, and parties in Angola. The continuation is justified by international obligations and to avoid harming the Angolan peace process.
