§9530 Exceptions, Waiver, and Termination

Summary

Some parts of the law do not apply to activities that must be reported under Title V of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3091 et seq.) or to other authorized U.S. intelligence actions. The law also does not apply when someone must be allowed into the United States to meet U.S. obligations under the Agreement between the United Nations and the United States about the U.N. Headquarters (signed June 26, 1947; effective Nov 21, 1947), the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (done April 24, 1963; effective March 19, 1967), or other international agreements. If the President imposes sanctions under this part, the President may waive those sanctions if doing so serves U.S. national security, subject to section 9511 of this title. Also, subject to section 9511, the President may end sanctions under sections 9524, 9525, 9526, 9527, or 9528 if he sends Congress a notice explaining why and showing that the person stopped the sanctioned activity or took major verifiable steps to stop and has given reliable assurances they will not knowingly do it again.
