US embassy cable - 05KUWAIT107

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.

During a meeting with the Kuwaiti Foreign Minister on January 
8, the Ambassador urged the Kuwaitis to join the two 
conventions to which they had not yet adhered:  Convention 
for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and the 
Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings.  There 
was some back and forth between the Foreign Minister and his 
staff about whether these might be with the National Assembly 
or at some other stage in the approval process.  We will 
follow up with the MFA to clarify the status and push again 
for final adoption.
