US embassy cable - 05DJIBOUTI217

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: SECSTATE 33916 
 
1. (U) Pol/Econ delivered reftel demarche 2 March to Director 
of Bilateral Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 
Mohamed Ali Hassan. Hassan said he thought the new vote was 
related to concerns regarding certain arguments within the 
Declaration, not the principle itself. He said he would like 
to see the text of the Declaration, which Pol/Econ gave along 
with the demarche. Hassan said he would send the arguments to 
Djibouti's representative in New York, who should see the 
U.S. representative in New York to discuss the issue. Hassan 
did not clarify why Djibouti had abstained from the vote on 
the Declaration, though he said Djibouti's position on 
cloning was that it should be banned.
