US embassy cable - 04ABUDHABI4543

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.

REF: STATE 259878 
 
Post delivered reftel demarche to the MFA Director of the 
International Organizations Department, Yacub Al Hosani, on 
December 8 and to the MFA Deputy Director of the 
International Organizations Department (in the absence of the 
director), Ghanim Al Mazroui, on December 14.  Al Mazroui 
told Poloff that, while he would share our position with 
others at the MFA and with the UAE/UN Mission, current 
instructions are to vote as they did for the Third Committee 
vote held in November, when the UAE abstained from the Iran 
resolution and voted against the Turkmenistan resolution.  He 
recommended that the U.S. PermRep to the UN Mission directly 
contact his UAE counterpart to request a change in voting. 
Post also recommends that US/UN coordinate directly with the 
UAE/UN Mission to try to change the UAEG vote.
