US embassy cable - 04ACCRA1484

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.

(C) On July 14, Mission delivered reftel demarche to Director 
of International Organizations John Kuleke at the Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs.  Kuleke offered no substantive comment on 
either the ICJ ruling or the Arab Group draft resolution 
"accepting" it.  However, he did acknowledge that Ghana had 
abstained on the referral to the ICJ.  He also noted that 
"Ghana and Israel have good relations," and that Ghana has an 
embassy in Tel Aviv.  (Note: there is talk of Israel opening 
an embassy in Accra).  Kuleke concluded by saying that "we 
(the ministry) will consult," and "we will make the 
appropriate decision."
