Findings. (a) International terrorists, including members of al Qaida, have carried out attacks on United States diplo- matic and military personnel and facilities abroad and on citizens and property within the United States on a scale that has created a state of armed conflict that re- quires the use of the United States Armed Forces. (b) In light of grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism, including the terrorist attacks on Sep- tember 11, 2001, on the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense in the national capital region, on the World Trade Center in New York, and on civilian aircraft such as in Pennsylvania, I proclaimed a national emergency on September 14, 2001 (Proc. 7463, Declaration of National Emergency by Reason of Cer- tain Terrorist Attacks [50 U.S.C. 1621 note]). (c) Individuals acting alone and in concert involved in international terrorism possess both the capability and the intention to undertake further terrorist at- tacks against the United States that, if not detected and prevented, will cause mass deaths, mass injuries, and massive destruction of property, and may place at risk the continuity of the operations of the United States Government. (d) The ability of the United States to protect the United States and its citizens, and to help its allies and other cooperating nations protect their nations and their citizens, from such further terrorist attacks de- pends in significant part upon using the United States Armed Forces to identify terrorists and those who sup- port them, to disrupt their activities, and to eliminate their ability to conduct or support such attacks. (e) To protect the United States and its citizens, and for the effective conduct of military operations and prevention of terrorist attacks, it is necessary for indi- viduals subject to this order pursuant to section 2 here- of to be detained, and, when tried, to be tried for viola- tions of the laws of war and other applicable laws by military tribunals. (f) Given the danger to the safety of the United States and the nature of international terrorism, and to the extent provided by and under this order, I find consistent with section 836 of title 10, United States Code, that it is not practicable to apply in military commissions under this order the principles of law and the rules of evidence generally recognized in the trial of criminal cases in the United States district courts. (g) Having fully considered the magnitude of the po- tential deaths, injuries, and property destruction that would result from potential acts of terrorism against the United States, and the probability that such acts will occur, I have determined that an extraordinary emergency exists for national defense purposes, that this emergency constitutes an urgent and compelling government interest, and that issuance of this order is necessary to meet the emergency. SEC. 2. Definition and Policy. (a) The term ‘‘individual subject to this order’’ shall mean any individual who is not a United States citizen with respect to whom I determine from time to time in writing that: (1) there is reason to believe that such individual, at the relevant times, (i) is or was a member of the organization known as al Qaida; (ii) has engaged in, aided or abetted, or conspired to commit, acts of international terrorism, or acts in preparation therefor, that have caused, threaten to cause, or have as their aim to cause, injury to or adverse effects on the United States, its citizens, national security, foreign policy, or economy; or (iii) has knowingly harbored one or more individ- uals described in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) of sub- section 2(a)(1) of this order; and (2) it is in the interest of the United States that such individual be subject to this order. (b) It is the policy of the United States that the Sec- retary of Defense shall take all necessary measures to ensure that any individual subject to this order is de- tained in accordance with section 3, and, if the indi- vidual is to be tried, that such individual is tried only in accordance with section 4. (c) It is further the policy of the United States that any individual subject to this order who is not already under the control of the Secretary of Defense but who is under the control of any other officer or agent of the United States or any State shall, upon delivery of a copy of such written determination to such officer or agent, forthwith be placed under the control of the Sec- retary of Defense. SEC. 3. Detention Authority of the Secretary of Defense. Any individual subject to this order shall be— (a) detained at an appropriate location designated by the Secretary of Defense outside or within the United States; (b) treated humanely, without any adverse distinc- tion based on race, color, religion, gender, birth, wealth, or any similar criteria; (c) afforded adequate food, drinking water, shelter, clothing, and medical treatment; (d) allowed the free exercise of religion consistent with the requirements of such detention; and (e) detained in accordance with such other conditions as the Secretary of Defense may prescribe.

Obligation of Other Agencies to Assist the Sec- retary of Defense. Departments, agencies, entities, and officers of the United States shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, provide to the Secretary of Defense such assist- ance as he may request to implement this order. SEC. 6. Additional Authorities of the Secretary of De- fense. (a) As a military function and in light of the findings in section 1, the Secretary of Defense shall issue such orders and regulations as may be necessary to carry out any of the provisions of this order. (b) The Secretary of Defense may perform any of his functions or duties, and may exercise any of the powers provided to him under this order (other than under sec- tion 4(c)(8) hereof) in accordance with section 113(d) of title 10, United States Code. SEC. 7. Relationship to Other Law and Forums. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to— Page 713 TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES § 801 (1) authorize the disclosure of state secrets to any person not otherwise authorized to have access to them; (2) limit the authority of the President as Com- mander in Chief of the Armed Forces or the power of the President to grant reprieves and pardons; or (3) limit the lawful authority of the Secretary of Defense, any military commander, or any other offi- cer or agent of the United States or of any State to detain or try any person who is not an individual sub- ject to this order. (b) With respect to any individual subject to this order— (1) military tribunals shall have exclusive jurisdic- tion with respect to offenses by the individual; and (2) the individual shall not be privileged to seek any remedy or maintain any proceeding, directly or indi- rectly, or to have any such remedy or proceeding sought on the individual’s behalf, in (i) any court of the United States, or any State thereof, (ii) any court of any foreign nation, or (iii) any international tri- bunal. (c) This order is not intended to and does not create any right, benefit, or privilege, substantive or proce- dural, enforceable at law or equity by any party, against the United States, its departments, agencies, or other entities, its officers or employees, or any other person. (d) For purposes of this order, the term ‘‘State’’ in- cludes any State, district, territory, or possession of the United States. (e) I reserve the authority to direct the Secretary of Defense, at any time hereafter, to transfer to a govern- mental authority control of any individual subject to this order. Nothing in this order shall be construed to limit the authority of any such governmental author- ity to prosecute any individual for whom control is transferred. SEC. 8. Publication. This order shall be published in the Federal Register. GEORGE W. BUSH.

No. 13425, Feb. 14, 2007, 72 F.R. 7737, set out as a note under section 948b of this title.] EX. ORD. NO. 13492. REVIEW AND DISPOSITION OF INDIVID- UALS DETAINED AT THE GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE AND CLOSURE OF DETENTION FACILITIES Ex. Ord. No. 13492, Jan. 22, 2009, 74 F.R. 4897, as amended by Ex. Ord. No. 13823, § 2(a), Jan. 30, 2018, 83 F.R. 4831, provided: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, in order to effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base (Guanta- namo) and promptly to close detention facilities at Guantanamo, consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the in- terests of justice, I hereby order as follows: SECTION 1. Definitions. As used in this order: (a) ‘‘Common Article 3’’ means Article 3 of each of the Geneva Conventions. (b) ‘‘Geneva Conventions’’ means: (i) the Convention for the Amelioration of the Con- dition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field, August 12, 1949 (6 UST 3114); (ii) the Convention for the Amelioration of the Con- dition of Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked Members of Armed Forces at Sea, August 12, 1949 (6 UST 3217); (iii) the Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, August 12, 1949 (6 UST 3316); and (iv) the Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, August 12, 1949 (6 UST 3516). (c) ‘‘Individuals currently detained at Guantanamo’’ and ‘‘individuals covered by this order’’ mean individ- uals currently detained by the Department of Defense in facilities at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base whom the Department of Defense has ever determined to be, or treated as, enemy combatants. SEC. 2. Findings. (a) Over the past 7 years, approximately 800 individ- uals whom the Department of Defense has ever deter- mined to be, or treated as, enemy combatants have been detained at Guantanamo. The Federal Govern- ment has moved more than 500 such detainees from Guantanamo, either by returning them to their home country or by releasing or transferring them to a third country. The Department of Defense has determined that a number of the individuals currently detained at Guantanamo are eligible for such transfer or release. (b) Some individuals currently detained at Guanta- namo have been there for more than 6 years, and most have been detained for at least 4 years. In view of the significant concerns raised by these detentions, both within the United States and internationally, prompt and appropriate disposition of the individuals currently detained at Guantanamo and closure of the facilities in which they are detained would further the national se- curity and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice. Merely closing the facili- ties without promptly determining the appropriate dis- position of the individuals detained would not ade- quately serve those interests. To the extent prac- ticable, the prompt and appropriate disposition of the individuals detained at Guantanamo should precede the closure of the detention facilities at Guantanamo. (c) The individuals currently detained at Guanta- namo have the constitutional privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. Most of those individuals have filed pe- titions for a writ of habeas corpus in Federal court challenging the lawfulness of their detention. (d) It is in the interests of the United States that the executive branch undertake a prompt and thorough re- view of the factual and legal bases for the continued de- tention of all individuals currently held at Guanta- namo, and of whether their continued detention is in the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and in the interests of justice. The un- usual circumstances associated with detentions at Guantanamo require a comprehensive interagency re- view. (e) New diplomatic efforts may result in an appro- priate disposition of a substantial number of individ- uals currently detained at Guantanamo. (f) Some individuals currently detained at Guanta- namo may have committed offenses for which they should be prosecuted. It is in the interests of the United States to review whether and how any such in- dividuals can and should be prosecuted. (g) It is in the interests of the United States that the executive branch conduct a prompt and thorough re- view of the circumstances of the individuals currently detained at Guantanamo who have been charged with offenses before military commissions pursuant to the Military Commissions Act of 2006, Public Law 109–366, as well as of the military commission process more generally. SEC. 3. [Revoked by Ex. Ord. No. 13823, § 2(a), Jan. 30, 2018, 83 F.R. 4831, set out below.] SEC. 4. Immediate Review of All Guantanamo Detentions. (a) Scope and Timing of Review. A review of the status of each individual currently detained at Guantanamo (Review) shall commence immediately. (b) Review Participants. The Review shall be conducted with the full cooperation and participation of the fol- lowing officials: (1) the Attorney General, who shall coordinate the Review; (2) the Secretary of Defense; (3) the Secretary of State; (4) the Secretary of Homeland Security; (5) the Director of National Intelligence; (6) the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and (7) other officers or full-time or permanent part- time employees of the United States, including em- Page 714 TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES § 801 ployees with intelligence, counterterrorism, military, and legal expertise, as determined by the Attorney General, with the concurrence of the head of the de- partment or agency concerned. (c) Operation of Review. The duties of the Review par- ticipants shall include the following: (1) Consolidation of Detainee Information. The Attor- ney General shall, to the extent reasonably prac- ticable, and in coordination with the other Review participants, assemble all information in the posses- sion of the Federal Government that pertains to any individual currently detained at Guantanamo and that is relevant to determining the proper disposition of any such individual. All executive branch depart- ments and agencies shall promptly comply with any request of the Attorney General to provide informa- tion in their possession or control pertaining to any such individual. The Attorney General may seek fur- ther information relevant to the Review from any source. (2) Determination of Transfer. The Review shall de- termine, on a rolling basis and as promptly as pos- sible with respect to the individuals currently de- tained at Guantanamo, whether it is possible to transfer or release the individuals consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and, if so, whether and how the Sec- retary of Defense may effect their transfer or release. The Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and, as appropriate, other Review participants shall work to effect promptly the release or transfer of all individuals for whom release or transfer is possible. (3) Determination of Prosecution. In accordance with United States law, the cases of individuals detained at Guantanamo not approved for release or transfer shall be evaluated to determine whether the Federal Government should seek to prosecute the detained in- dividuals for any offenses they may have committed, including whether it is feasible to prosecute such in- dividuals before a court established pursuant to Arti- cle III of the United States Constitution, and the Re- view participants shall in turn take the necessary and appropriate steps based on such determinations. (4) Determination of Other Disposition. With respect to any individuals currently detained at Guantanamo whose disposition is not achieved under paragraphs (2) or (3) of this subsection, the Review shall select lawful means, consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice, for the disposition of such in- dividuals. The appropriate authorities shall promptly implement such dispositions. (5) Consideration of Issues Relating to Transfer to the United States. The Review shall identify and consider legal, logistical, and security issues relating to the potential transfer of individuals currently detained at Guantanamo to facilities within the United States, and the Review participants shall work with the Con- gress on any legislation that may be appropriate. SEC. 5. Diplomatic Efforts. The Secretary of State shall expeditiously pursue and direct such negotiations and diplomatic efforts with foreign governments as are nec- essary and appropriate to implement this order. SEC. 6. Humane Standards of Confinement. No indi- vidual currently detained at Guantanamo shall be held in the custody or under the effective control of any of- ficer, employee, or other agent of the United States Government, or at a facility owned, operated, or con- trolled by a department or agency of the United States, except in conformity with all applicable laws governing the conditions of such confinement, including Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. The Secretary of Defense shall immediately undertake a review of the conditions of detention at Guantanamo to ensure full compliance with this directive. Such review shall be completed within 30 days and any necessary corrections shall be implemented immediately thereafter. SEC. 7. Military Commissions. The Secretary of Defense shall immediately take steps sufficient to ensure that during the pendency of the Review described in section 4 of this order, no charges are sworn, or referred to a military commission under the Military Commissions Act of 2006 and the Rules for Military Commissions, and that all proceedings of such military commissions to which charges have been referred but in which no judgment has been rendered, and all proceedings pend- ing in the United States Court of Military Commission Review, are halted. SEC. 8. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall prejudice the authority of the Secretary of Defense to determine the disposi- tion of any detainees not covered by this order. (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appro- priations. (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforce- able 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. EX. ORD. NO. 13567. PERIODIC REVIEW OF INDIVIDUALS DE- TAINED AT GUANTA´ NAMO BAY NAVAL STATION PURSU- ANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE Ex. Ord. No. 13567, Mar. 7, 2011, 76 F.R. 13277, provided: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Authorization for Use of Mili- tary Force of September 2001 (AUMF), Public Law 107–40, and in order to ensure that military detention of individuals now held at the U.S. Naval Station, Guanta´namo Bay, Cuba (Guanta´namo), who were sub- ject to the interagency review under section 4 of Execu- tive Order 13492 of January 22, 2009, continues to be carefully evaluated and justified, consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice, I hereby order as follows: SECTION 1. Scope and Purpose. (a) The periodic review described in section 3 of this order applies only to those detainees held at Guanta´namo on the date of this order, whom the interagency review established by Ex- ecutive Order 13492 has (i) designated for continued law of war detention; or (ii) referred for prosecution, except for those detainees against whom charges are pending or a judgment of conviction has been entered. (b) This order is intended solely to establish, as a dis- cretionary matter, a process to review on a periodic basis the executive branch’s continued, discretionary exercise of existing detention authority in individual cases. It does not create any additional or separate source of detention authority, and it does not affect the scope of detention authority under existing law. De- tainees at Guanta´namo have the constitutional privi- lege of the writ of habeas corpus, and nothing in this order is intended to affect the jurisdiction of Federal courts to determine the legality of their detention. (c) In the event detainees covered by this order are transferred from Guanta´namo to another U.S. deten- tion facility where they remain in law of war deten- tion, this order shall continue to apply to them. SEC. 2. Standard for Continued Detention. Continued law of war detention is warranted for a detainee subject to the periodic review in section 3 of this order if it is necessary to protect against a significant threat to the security of the United States. SEC. 3. Periodic Review. The Secretary of Defense shall coordinate a process of periodic review of continued law of war detention for each detainee described in sec- tion 1(a) of this order. In consultation with the Attor- ney General, the Secretary of Defense shall issue im- plementing guidelines governing the process, con- sistent with the following requirements: (a) Initial Review. For each detainee, an initial review shall commence as soon as possible but no later than 1 year from the date of this order. The initial review will consist of a hearing before a Periodic Review Board (PRB). The review and hearing shall follow a process that includes the following requirements: Page 715 TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES § 801 (1) Each detainee shall be provided, in writing and in a language the detainee understands, with advance no- tice of the PRB review and an unclassified summary of the factors and information the PRB will consider in evaluating whether the detainee meets the standard set forth in section 2 of this order. The written summary shall be sufficiently comprehensive to provide adequate notice to the detainee of the reasons for continued de- tention. (2) The detainee shall be assisted in proceedings be- fore the PRB by a Government-provided personal rep- resentative (representative) who possesses the security clearances necessary for access to the information de- scribed in subsection (a)(4) of this section. The rep- resentative shall advocate on behalf of the detainee be- fore the PRB and shall be responsible for challenging the Government’s information and introducing infor- mation on behalf of the detainee. In addition to the representative, the detainee may be assisted in pro- ceedings before the PRB by private counsel, at no ex- pense to the Government. (3) The detainee shall be permitted to (i) present to the PRB a written or oral statement; (ii) introduce rel- evant information, including written declarations; (iii) answer any questions posed by the PRB; and (iv) call witnesses who are reasonably available and willing to provide information that is relevant and material to the standard set forth in section 2 of this order. (4) The Secretary of Defense, in coordination with other relevant Government agencies, shall compile and provide to the PRB all information in the detainee dis- position recommendations produced by the Task Force established under Executive Order 13492 that is relevant to the determination whether the standard in section 2 of this order has been met and on which the Govern- ment seeks to rely for that determination. In addition, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with other relevant Government agencies, shall compile any addi- tional information relevant to that determination, and on which the Government seeks to rely for that deter- mination, that has become available since the conclu- sion of the Executive Order 13492 review. All mitigating information relevant to that determination must be provided to the PRB. (5) The information provided in subsection (a)(4) of this section shall be provided to the detainee’s rep- resentative. In exceptional circumstances where it is necessary to protect national security, including intel- ligence sources and methods, the PRB may determine that the representative must receive a sufficient sub- stitute or summary, rather than the underlying infor- mation. If the detainee is represented by private coun- sel, the information provided in subsection (a)(4) of this section shall be provided to such counsel unless the Government determines that the need to protect na- tional security, including intelligence sources and methods, or law enforcement or privilege concerns, re- quires the Government to provide counsel with a suffi- cient substitute or summary of the information. A suf- ficient substitute or summary must provide a meaning- ful opportunity to assist the detainee during the review process. (6) The PRB shall conduct a hearing to consider the information described in subsection (a)(4) of this sec- tion, and other relevant information provided by the detainee or the detainee’s representative or counsel, to determine whether the standard in section 2 of this order is met. The PRB shall consider the reliability of any information provided to it in making its deter- mination. (7) The PRB shall make a prompt determination, by consensus and in writing, as to whether the detainee’s continued detention is warranted under the standard in section 2 of this order. If the PRB determines that the standard is not met, the PRB shall also recommend any conditions that relate to the detainee’s transfer. The PRB shall provide a written summary of any final de- termination in unclassified form to the detainee, in a language the detainee understands, within 30 days of the determination when practicable. (8) The Secretary of Defense shall establish a secre- tariat to administer the PRB review and hearing proc- ess. The Director of National Intelligence shall assist in preparing the unclassified notice and the substitutes or summaries described above. Other executive depart- ments and agencies shall assist in the process of pro- viding the PRB with information required for the re- view processes detailed in this order. (b) Subsequent Full Review. The continued detention of each detainee shall be subject to subsequent full re- views and hearings by the PRB on a triennial basis. Each subsequent review shall employ the procedures set forth in section 3(a) of this order. (c) File Reviews. The continued detention of each de- tainee shall also be subject to a file review every 6 months in the intervening years between full reviews. This file review will be conducted by the PRB and shall consist of a review of any relevant new information re- lated to the detainee compiled by the Secretary of De- fense, in coordination with other relevant agencies, since the last review and, as appropriate, information considered during any prior PRB review. The detainee shall be permitted to make a written submission in connection with each file review. If, during the file re- view, a significant question is raised as to whether the detainee’s continued detention is warranted under the standard in section 2 of this order, the PRB will promptly convene a full review pursuant to the stand- ards in section 3(a) of this order. (d) Review of PRB Determinations. The Review Com- mittee (Committee), as defined in section 9(d) of this order, shall conduct a review if (i) a member of the Committee seeks review of a PRB determination with- in 30 days of that determination; or (ii) consensus with- in the PRB cannot be reached. SEC. 4. Effect of Determination to Transfer. (a) If a final determination is made that a detainee does not meet the standard in section 2 of this order, the Secretaries of State and Defense shall be responsible for ensuring that vigorous efforts are undertaken to identify a suit- able transfer location for any such detainee, outside of the United States, consistent with the national secu- rity and foreign policy interests of the United States and the commitment set forth in section 2242(a) of the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (Public Law 105–277). (b) The Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, shall be responsible for obtaining appropriate security and humane treatment assurances regarding any detainee to be transferred to another country, and for determining, after consultation with members of the Committee, that it is appropriate to proceed with the transfer. (c) The Secretary of State shall evaluate humane treatment assurances in all cases, consistent with the recommendations of the Special Task Force on Interro- gation and Transfer Policies established by Executive Order 13491 of January 22, 2009. SEC. 5. Annual Committee Review. (a) The Committee shall conduct an annual review of sufficiency and effi- cacy of transfer efforts, including: (1) the status of transfer efforts for any detainee who has been subject to the periodic review under section 3 of this order, whose continued detention has been de- termined not to be warranted, and who has not been transferred more than 6 months after the date of such determination; (2) the status of transfer efforts for any detainee whose petition for a writ of habeas corpus has been granted by a U.S. Federal court with no pending appeal and who has not been transferred; (3) the status of transfer efforts for any detainee who has been designated for transfer or conditional deten- tion by the Executive Order 13492 review and who has not been transferred; and (4) the security and other conditions in the countries to which detainees might be transferred, including a re- view of any suspension of transfers to a particular country, in order to determine whether further steps to facilitate transfers are appropriate or to provide a rec- Page 716 TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES § 801 ommendation to the President regarding whether con- tinuation of any such suspension is warranted. (b) After completion of the initial reviews under sec- tion 3(a) of this order, and at least once every 4 years thereafter, the Committee shall review whether a con- tinued law of war detention policy remains consistent with the interests of the United States, including na- tional security interests. SEC. 6. Continuing Obligation of the Departments of Jus- tice and Defense to Assess Feasibility of Prosecution. As to each detainee whom the interagency review established by Executive Order 13492 has designated for continued law of war detention, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense shall continue to assess whether prosecution of the detainee is feasible and in the na- tional security interests of the United States, and shall refer detainees for prosecution, as appropriate. SEC. 7. Obligation of Other Departments and Agencies to Assist the Secretary of Defense. All departments, agen- cies, entities, and officers of the United States, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall provide the Secretary of Defense such assistance as may be re- quested to implement this order. SEC. 8. Legality of Detention. The process established under this order does not address the legality of any de- tainee’s law of war detention. If, at any time during the periodic review process established in this order, mate- rial information calls into question the legality of de- tention, the matter will be referred immediately to the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General for ap- propriate action. SEC. 9. Definitions. (a) ‘‘Law of War Detention’’ means: detention authorized by the Congress under the AUMF, as informed by the laws of war.

NO. 13823. PROTECTING AMERICA THROUGH LAWFUL DETENTION OF TERRORISTS Ex. Ord. No. 13823, Jan. 30, 2018, 83 F.R. 4831, provided: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. (a) Consistent with long-standing law of war principles and applicable law, the United States may detain certain persons captured in connec- tion with an armed conflict for the duration of the con- flict. (b) Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) and other authorities authorized the United States to detain certain persons who were a part of or substantially supported al-Qa’ida, the Taliban, or asso- ciated forces engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners. Today, the United States remains engaged in an armed conflict with al- Qa’ida, the Taliban, and associated forces, including with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. (c) The detention operations at the U.S. Naval Sta- tion Guanta´namo Bay are legal, safe, humane, and con- ducted consistent with United States and international law. (d) Those operations are continuing given that a number of the remaining individuals at the detention facility are being prosecuted in military commissions, while others must be detained to protect against con- tinuing, significant threats to the security of the United States, as determined by periodic reviews. (e) Given that some of the current detainee popu- lation represent the most difficult and dangerous cases from among those historically detained at the facility, there is significant reason for concern regarding their reengagement in hostilities should they have the op- portunity. SEC. 2. Status of Detention Facilities at U.S. Naval Sta- tion Guanta´namo Bay. (a) Section 3 of Executive Order 13492 of January 22, 2009 (Review and Disposition of In- dividuals Detained at the Guanta´namo Bay Naval Base and Closure of Detention Facilities) [formerly set out above], ordering the closure of detention facilities at U.S. Naval Station Guanta´namo Bay, is hereby re- voked. (b) Detention operations at U.S. Naval Station Guanta´namo Bay shall continue to be conducted con- sistent with all applicable United States and inter- national law, including the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 [see Short Title note set out under section 2000dd of Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare]. (c) In addition, the United States may transport addi- tional detainees to U.S. Naval Station Guanta´namo Bay when lawful and necessary to protect the Nation. (d) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Sec- retary of Defense shall, in consultation with the Sec- retary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of National Intel- ligence, and the heads of any other appropriate execu- tive departments and agencies as determined by the Secretary of Defense, recommend policies to the Presi- dent regarding the disposition of individuals captured in connection with an armed conflict, including poli- cies governing transfer of individuals to U.S. Naval Station Guanta´namo Bay. (e) Unless charged in or subject to a judgment of con- viction by a military commission, any detainees trans- ferred to U.S. Naval Station Guanta´namo Bay after the date of this order shall be subject to the procedures for periodic review established in Executive Order 13567 of March 7, 2011 (Periodic Review of Individuals Detained at Guanta´namo Bay Naval Station Pursuant to the Au- thorization for Use of Military Force) [set out above], to determine whether continued law of war detention is necessary to protect against a significant threat to the security of the United States. SEC. 3. Rules of Construction. (a) Nothing in this order shall prevent the Secretary of Defense from transfer- ring any individual away from the U.S. Naval Station Guanta´namo Bay when appropriate, including to effec- tuate an order affecting the disposition of that indi- vidual issued by a court or competent tribunal of the United States having lawful jurisdiction. Page 717 TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES § 802 (b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful permanent residents of the United States, or any persons who are captured or arrested in the United States. (c) Nothing in this order shall prevent the Attorney General from, as appropriate, investigating, detaining, and prosecuting a terrorist subject to the criminal laws and jurisdiction of the United States. SEC. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect: (i) the authority granted by law to an executive de- partment or agency, or the head thereof; or (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Man- agement and Budget relating to budgetary, administra- tive, or legislative proposals. (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appro- priations. (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforce- able 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.
