From Section 120.17 of the ITAR which provides:
_Export_ means: . . . . (4) Disclosing (including oral or visual disclosure) or transfering technical data to a foreign person, whether in the United States or abroad . . . .
The ITAR is U.S.-Law. This only applies (by definition) to US-citizens or persons in the U.S.! I think it's a common mistake of many Americans that they believe creating law means creating law for the whole world!
Go read the section that I quoted again. Where is there an exception for foreign persons who happen to be abroad?
It's inherent. You simply can't apply US-law to non-US-citizens outside the U.S.! oli.
