As the NY Times claims are still active:
1. Actions of the Iranian government
2. Breakdown of law and order in Zimbabwe
3. Breakdown of law and order in the Central African Republic
4. Colombian narcotics traffickers
5. Disruption of the Middle East peace process
6. Erosion of human rights in Venezuela
7. Expiration of the Export Administration Act
8. Extremist violence in the Balkans
9. Human rights abuses in Belarus
10. Human rights violations by the Sudanese government
11. Instability and violence in Libya
12. Malicious cyber-enabled activities
13. Nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula
14. Political and economic instability in Lebanon
15. Proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
16. Sale of Iraqi petroleum
17. Syria’s support of terrorism
18. The 1979 Iranian hostage crisis
19. The Sept. 11 attacks
20. Threat of foreign terrorism
21. Threats to Yemen’s peace, security and stability
22. Transnational criminal organizations
23. U.S. ships entering Cuban waters
24. Undermining of democracy in Ukraine
25. Violence and piracy in Somalia
26. Violence in Burundi
27. Widespread violence and atrocities in South Sudan
28. Widespread violence and atrocities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Do they ever end? Each must be renewed by the president annually. We still look at the Iranian hostage crisis (1979) and 9/11 (2001) as emergencies. How many others are more than five years old?
