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.

(SBU) EconOff delivered reftel points to Ghassan Shaikho, MFA
Director of International Organizations, on November 9.
Shaikho indicated that Bahrain had not yet formulated its
final position on any of the six resolutions before the Third
Committee (as outlined in Ref. B). He did say that he
expected Bahrain would not support the Belarus sponsored
resolution criticizing the U.S. electoral process (Ref. A)
and that Bahrain will likely abstain on the U.S./EU sponsored
resolution on Belarus. Citing reasons of "regional
solidarity," Shaikho added that he expects Bahrain will vote
against the resolution on Iran (as it has done in the past)
and against the resolution on Sudan. Shaikho said Bahrain's
position on the Turkmenistan and Zimbabwe resolutions is
still open for discussion, although he indicated that he
expects Bahrain will follow the Africa Group's lead on
Zimbabwe.
