| GENESIS-SCI TRAVEL WARNINGS & ALAERTS |
October 7, 2002
This Travel Warning is being issued after a periodic review to reiterate the Department of State's concerns
about travel to Libya and does not signify any changes from the one issued on June 6, 2001.
The United States Department of State warns U.S. citizens against travel to or residence in Libya. There
has been evidence of hostility to the United States in some segments of the population and some elements
of the Libyan Government.
There is no U.S. Embassy in Libya. Therefore, the U.S. Government is unable to provide any assurances
of the safety of travel to Libya by U.S. citizens. U.S. Government interests are represented by the
Government of Belgium, which as a protecting power can provide only limited emergency services to U.S.
citizens.
United Nations sanctions against Libya have been suspended following the surrender of the two suspects
in the Lockerbie bombing; U.S. sanctions remain in place. All financial and commercial transactions with
Libya by U.S. citizens are prohibited unless licensed by the U.S. Treasury Department. U.S. passports are
not valid for travel to, in, or through Libya unless a special validation is obtained beforehand from the
Department of State.
Those Americans who decide to travel to Libya despite the Travel Warning should exercise a high level of
caution.
