Illicitly Obtained Oil From Libya
Washington, DC
March 9, 2014
The United States is deeply concerned by reports that a vessel
sailing under the name Morning Glory is loading a cargo of illicitly
obtained oil at the Libyan port of As-Sidra. This action is counter to
law and amounts to theft from the Libyan people. The oil belongs to the
Libyan National Oil Company and its joint venture partners. These
partners include U.S. companies in the Waha consortium. Any oil sales
without authorization from these parties places purchasers at risk of
exposure to civil liability, penalties and other possible sanctions in
multiple jurisdictions.
