OMAN JURIST WORLD LAW >> Oman Human Rights Legal Profession Constitution of Oman Majlis al-Shura ... About Omani Government Sultan Qaboos bin Sa'id rules Oman with the aid of his ministers. His dynasty, the Al Sa'id, was founded about 250 years ago by Imam Ahmed bin Sa'id. The sultan is a direct descendant of the l9th century ruler, Sa'id bin Sultan, who first opened relations with the United States in 1833. The Sultanate has neither political parties nor legislature, although the bicameral representative bodies provide the government with advice. Source: U.S. Department of State Omani Judiciary (POGAR) The various Omani courts are subordinate to the Sultan and subject to his influence in practice. All judges are appointed by the Sultan and serve at his pleasure. The Sultan acts as a court of final appeal and intercedes in cases of particular interest, such as those concerning national security. However, there have been no reported instances in which the Sultan has overturned a decision of the magistrate courts or the commercial courts. All courts are administered by the Ministry of Justice. The judiciary comprises the magistrate courts, which adjudicate misdemeanors and criminal matters; the Shari'a (Islamic law) courts, which adjudicate personal status cases such as divorce and inheritance; and the commercial courts. The Labor Welfare Board attempts to mediate disputes between employers and employees. If a settlement cannot be reached, the parties may seek recourse in the appropriate courts. The Rent Dispute Committee has been abolished; the courts of general jurisdiction may hear cases involving rent disputes.

Lines, Ltd. ("MOL") are pleased to announce that they have agreed to the participation of the Omani Government in Greenfield Holding Company Limited, a Cayman Islands company ("GHCL") together with The Shipping Corporation of India Limited ("SCI"), which through a wholly owned subsidiary, Greenfield Shipping Company Limited of Malta, owns a newly-built LNG carrier named the "Lakshmi" ("the Vessel"). The Vessel is a 135,000 cbm Moss-type LNG carrier. She was successfully completed at Nagasaki shipyard of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and delivered on November 15, 2001. The Omani Government is to acquire a 40 % share in GHCL. MOL and SCI will keep shares of 40 % and 20 % respectively. Atlantic Commercial Finance, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Enron Corp. will exit from the shareholdings in GHCL.

The Omani Government expects that the problems surrounding the Dabhol project may be solved in the course of time. The Vessel may then be used to provide Omani LNG to the Dabhol project as and when the Dabhol project is revived.

The capital is Muscat. Oman comprises a coastal plain and an interior region of hills and desert. Dates, limes, nuts, and vegetables are cultivated in the north and livestock are raised in the southwest, but the major product is oil. Natural gas production and copper mining were developed in the early 1980s to diversify the economy. The population is predominantly Muslim Arab, with Pakistani, Indian, and Zanzibari minorities.

Site Map BUYUSA.GOV U.S. Commercial Service Oman EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Country Commercial Guide (CCG) presents a comprehensive look at Oman’s commercial environment, using economic, political and market analysis. CCGs were established by recommendation of the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC), a multi-agency task force, to consolidate various reporting documents prepared for the U.S. business community. CCGs are prepared annually at U.S. embassies through the combined efforts of several U.S. government agencies. In addition to the oil and gas sectors, there are other sectors in Oman with significant potential for U.S. exporters. The traditional sectors where American business finds a home in Oman include machinery and mechanical equipment; prepared foods and vegetables; healthcare and medical equipment; water resource technologies; travel and tourism; consumer and industrial telecommunications equipment; power generation equipment and processes; training and vocational education services; franchising; and joint ventures. The top five categories of U.S. exports to Oman in 2001, accounting for 87 percent of total U.S. exports to the Sultanate, were machinery and mechanical appliances (54 percent), transport equipment (14 percent), chemical products (6.5 percent), prepared foodstuffs, animal and vegetable products (5 percent), and optical, photographic and medical equipment (3 percent). Another major project is the Salalah Container Port, a $250 million container transshipment port that opened in November 1998. Port Salalah was established as a joint venture between the Omani government, private investors, and shipping companies Sea-Land and Maersk. Maersk bought Sea-Land's 15 percent share in Port Salalah in mid-1999. Port Salalah has witnessed spectacular growth in shipping traffic, going from zero to one-third the level of container traffic in Dubai since inauguration, and has the potential to generate additional significant industrial development in southern Oman. The government has announced its intention to establish a free-trade zone in Salalah.

Oman : History and Government Sultanate of Oman Oman History and Government History Archaeological excavations have recently shown that much of the civilisation in Oman predates the Arab period. The region embraced Islam during the lifetime of the Prophet. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the sultans of Muscat were often powerful figures in Arabia and East Africa, who often came into conflict with the colonial powers in the region, particularly the Portuguese, who first settled in the 16th century, in an attempt to protect their eastern trade routes. Close ties have been maintained with Britain since 1798, when a treaty of friendship was concluded. The country was known as Muscat and Oman until 1970. The defeat of the insurgents served to increase both domestic and foreign pressure on Qaboos to introduce democratic reforms. A series of incremental measures have been introduced to modernise and liberalise this previously autocratic regime. Two consultative assemblies, the

Photo courtesy of Valerie Hoffman The Sultanate of Oman occupies the southeast corner of the Arabian Peninsula, with coastline facing the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. Environmental protection is a priority of the Sultanate, and the United Nations Environmental Program has credited the country as having one of the best records in conservation, pollution control, and efforts to maintain ecological balance. Considerable geographic and climatic variety exists throughout the country, with desert along the western border and a lush monsoon climate in the south. A number of protected nature reserves and wildlife sanctuaries are scattered throughout the country. Grassy parks and gardens are prominent features of Oman's cities. Arabic is the official language of Oman and three-quarters of the population is Ibadhi Muslim. Muscat, the capital, is a relaxed, cosmopolitan city, with great concern directed at aesthetic blending of modern development and historical structures.
