Embassy of the United States in Nepal
The Ambassador to Nepal, representing the United States and the U.S. Embassy, is Ambassador James F. Moriarty. The goal of the United States Embassy is to promote peace and a democracy within Nepal. The United States Embassy also works to gain the support of the Nepali government in global issues. Together the countries work to fight terrorism, the control of drug trafficking and environmental protection. But first and foremost, the U.S. Embassy in Nepal strives to protect and serve United States citizens.
The U.S. Embassy in Nepal is located in the city of Kathmandu, and has various divisions that focus on different aspects of the embassy’s mission. The Consular Services section is there to provide United States citizens information regarding the laws, culture, traditions, customs, destinations and safety advise. They are also able to assist in the renewal and application for passports and visas, voting from outside the United States, birth registration, adoptions, marriage in Nepal and emergency services. When looking at emergency services, the Embassy of the United States is able to provide listings of medical centers and doctors, assist during injury, death or illness, and during natural disasters or civil unrest. If an American citizen is detained or arrested the embassy can contact family and friends on the detainee’s behalf and recommend a lawyer at their own expense. The Embassy of the United States in not able to negotiate release, prison accommodation or participate in any matters relating to the courts.
Recently, the United States Embassy has released warnings to any United States citizens wanting to travel to Nepal, due to the rising levels of demonstrations and unrest. The Nepali elections take place in November 2007, and in 2006 and the beginning of 2007 has seen an increase in violence and riots. The Terai regions especially seem to be effected by the terror caused by the rebels. These rebels have been responsible for the recent events, which include extortion, violence, abductions and attacks. The rising tensions have sparked violent demonstrations, clashes between groups and police and strikes. It is expected that these outbursts might increase nearer to the election.
The U.S. Embassy therefore requests that all United States citizens read the safety updates on their website, or contact them directly for recent news. It is also extremely important to register their presence in the country with the embassy in case of emergency.
