SEC. 2. IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS.

    (a) Determination by the President.--
            (1) In general.--If the President determines that a foreign 
        person, on or after the date of the enactment of this section, 
        has knowingly violated United Nations Security Council 
        Resolution 748 imposing sanctions against Libya, he is 
        authorized to impose the sanctions described in subsection (c).
            (2) Persons against which sanctions are to be imposed.--
        Sanctions may be imposed pursuant to paragraph (1) on--
                    (A) the foreign person with respect to which the 
                President makes the determination described in that 
                paragraph;
                    (B) any successor entity to that foreign person;
                    (C) any foreign person that is a parent, 
                subsidiary, or co-venture of that person if that 
                parent, subsidiary, or co-venture knowingly and 
                materially assisted in the activities which were the 
                basis of that determination; and
                    (D) any foreign person that is an affiliate of that 
                person if that affiliate knowingly and materially 
                assisted in the activities which were the basis of that 
                determination and if that affiliate is controlled in 
                fact by that foreign person.
            (3) Other sanctions available.--The sanctions which may be 
        imposed for activities described in this subsection are in 
        addition to any other sanction which may be imposed for the 
        same activities under any other provision of law.
    (b) Consultation With and Actions by Foreign Government of 
Jurisdiction.--
            (1) Consultations.--If the President makes a determination 
        described in subsection (a)(1) with respect to a foreign 
        person, the Congress urges the President to initiate 
        consultations immediately with the government with primary 
        jurisdiction over that foreign person with respect to the 
        imposition of sanctions pursuant to this section.
            (2) Actions by government of jurisdiction.--In order to 
        pursue such consultations with that government, the President 
        may delay imposition of a sanction pursuant to this section for 
        up to 90 days. Following these consultations, the President 
        shall impose a sanction unless the President determines and 
        certifies to the Congress that that government has taken 
        specific and effective actions, including appropriate 
        penalties, to terminate the involvement of the foreign person 
        in the activities described in subsection (a)(1). The President 
        may delay the imposition of a sanction for up to an additional 
        90 days if the President determines and certifies to the 
        Congress that that government is in the process of taking the 
        actions described in the previous sentence.
            (3) Report to congress.--Not later than 90 days after 
        making a determination under subsection (a)(1), the President 
        shall submit to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
        Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
        Representatives a report on the status of consultations with 
        the appropriate government under this subsection, and the basis 
        for any determination under paragraph (2) of this subsection 
        that such government has taken specific corrective actions.
    (c) Sanctions.--The sanctions to be imposed pursuant to subsection 
(a)(1) are, except as provided in subsection (d), that no United States 
person shall, either directly or indirectly, procure, import, sell, 
export, or otherwise provide or enter into any contract to procure, 
import, sell, export, or otherwise provide any goods, technology, or 
services to or from any person described in subsection (a)(2).
    (d) Exceptions.--(1) The sanctions of subsection (c) shall not 
apply--
            (A) in the case of procurement by the United States 
        Government of vital defense articles or defense services which 
        cannot readily and reasonably be acquired in sufficient 
        quantities from other nonsanctioned foreign persons and which 
        are essential to satisfy current United States operational 
        military needs; or
            (B) with respect to medical or other humanitarian items.
    (2) Whenever the President makes a determination under this 
subsection to exempt certain goods, technology, or services from the 
sanctions of subsection (c), the President shall submit a report to the 
Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign 
Relations of the Senate stating the reasons for such exemption.
    (e) Termination of Sanctions.--Sanctions imposed pursuant to this 
section shall apply for a period of at least 12 months following the 
imposition of the sanctions and shall cease to apply thereafter only if 
the President determines and certifies to the Congress that--
            (1) reliable information indicates that the foreign person 
        with respect to which the determination was made under 
        subsection (a)(1) has ceased to violate United Nations Security 
        Council Resolution 748 with respect to Libya; and
            (2) the President has received reliable assurances from the 
        foreign person that such person will not, in the future, 
        violate United Nations Security Council Resolution 748 with 
        respect to Libya.
    (f) Waiver.--
            (1) Criterion for waiver.--The President may waive the 
        application of any sanction imposed on any person pursuant to 
        this section, after the end of the 12-month period beginning on 
        the date on which that sanction was imposed on that person, if 
        the President determines and certifies to the Congress that the 
        continued imposition of the sanction would have a serious 
        adverse effect on vital United States interests.
            (2) Notification of and report to congress.--If the 
        President decides to exercise the waiver authority provided in 
        paragraph (1), the President shall so notify the Congress not 
        less than 20 days before the waiver takes effect. Such 
        notification shall include a report fully articulating the 
        rationale and circumstances which led the President to exercise 
        the waiver authority.
    (g) Administration and Enforcement.--(1) The President may delegate 
his authority under this section to the Secretary of the Treasury.
    (2) Consistent with the provisions of this section, the authorities 
of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act which relate to the 
administration and enforcement of that Act shall apply to the 
administration and enforcement of sanctions imposed under this section.
    (3) Section 206 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act 
(50 U.S.C. 1705), relating to civil and criminal penalties, shall apply 
to violations of sanctions imposed under this section to the same 
extent and in the same manner as such penalties apply to violations of 
licenses, orders, or regulations under that Act.
