US embassy cable - 02AMMAN4519

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.

1. (U) On August 7, Poloff delivered reftel information on 
the candidacy of Professor Ruth Wedgwood to the Jordanian 
MFA.  On August 12, Ayman Aamiri, Deputy Head of the MFA's 
International Organizations Department, and Samer Naber, 
MFA's Legal Advisor, told us that MFA has since conveyed all 
the information on Professor Wedgwood to its Mission in New 
York, where it will be further evaluated.  Naber said that 
Professor Wedgwood is clearly qualified to serve on the 
UNHRC, but noted that Jordan will factor in other political 
considerations in deciding for whom to vote.  We encourage 
USUN to contact the Jordanian Mission directly to underline 
the importance the USG attaches to the Wedgwood candidacy and 
encourage GOJ support.
