US embassy cable - 04MANAMA1697

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) On November 9, EconOff delivered points on the 
resolution to ban human cloning before the Sixth Committee 
(Ref A) to Ghassan Shaikho, MFA Director of International 
Organizations.  Shaikho noted Saudi Arabia's support for the 
Costa Rican resolution and indicated that he expected Bahrain 
would follow the SAG lead (Ref B) and vote in favor of the 
resolution as currently drafted.  He did not clarify whether 
the GOB had received a fatwa from Bahrain's Ministry of 
Islamic Affairs (Ref C) that would help the GOB justify its 
position.
