US embassy cable - 03KUWAIT4746

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1.  (C) MFA Deputy Director of International Organization 
Affairs Amb. Aqeel Behbehani told Pol Chief October 18 that 
Kuwait would vote for the Costa Rican UNGA resolution calling 
for a total ban on all human cloning, and would urge other 
Arab states to do likewise.  When pressed, he said Kuwait 
would not co-sponsor.  He gave no explanation for that 
decision, other than to claim that the GOK's support would be 
just as helpful as co-sponsorship.
