Revocation of Executive Orders. Executive Orders 13491 and 13492 of January 22, 2009, are revoked, and Executive Order 13440 is reinstated to the extent permitted by law. Sec. 2. Findings. After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the United States determined that it would detain at the US. Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, aliens who were part of or supporting al Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces, and who had engaged in hostilities against the United States, its citizens, its allies, or its coalition partners. The detention facilities at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, are legal, safe, and humane, and are consistent with international conventions regarding the laws of war. Over 30 percent of detainees released from Guantanamo have returned to armed con?ict, according to unclassi?ed reporting. This group of detainees includes at least 12 individuals released from Guantanamo who have conducted attacks against US. personnel or allied forces in Afghanistan, killing six Americans, including a civilian aid worker. It is in the interests of the United States that the executive branch ensures the continuation of the detainee facilities at Guantanamo Bay as a critical tool in the ?ght against international I jihad-ist?terreristradical Islamist groups who are engaged in armed con?ict with the United States, its allies, and its coalition partners and who threaten the national security of the United States. Sec. 3. Continuing State of Armed Con?ict with International Terrorist Groups. The United States remains engaged in a global armed con?ict with al Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces, including with members of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, and with those who fight on behalf of or provide substantial support to or harbor such groups in furtherance of hostilities against the United States, its citizens, or its coalition partners. Sec. 4. Military Detention of Alien Enemy Combatants at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. Subject to further direction from the President and consistent with the requirements of law, the Secretary of Defense shall maintain and continue to use the detention and trial facilities at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base for the detention and trial by military commission of alien enemy combatants captured in the armed con?ict described in section 3 of this order, including for the detention and trial of newly captured alien enemy combatants, as appropriate. The Secretary of Defense shall suspend any existing transfer efforts pending a new review as to whether any such transfers are in the national security interests of the United States. a:ees. 1 . . glfefmga?mm b- i ,cgrel?dary Mic @?therseni (Birth ii Wi the ineneral . ty of?cqr thi' interrht' n. a. policies 2-22?. - :l mOdi?C?tij [Sin addiftf thospliicies, a5 I -. tamy batants safe, 1a 14,, and effecti ,3 6. ?'11 C073 af?f?lng . 1 of UnitStates.
