US embassy cable - 02AMMAN4975

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 September 3, A/Polcouns contacted Ayman Aamiri, 
Deputy Director of the MFA's Department of International 
Organizations, to again urge Jordan's support for the 
candidacy of Professor Ruth Wedgwood in the September 9 UN 
Human Rights Committee election.  Aamiri had no new 
information to convey since ref B, and reiterated that 
Jordan's Mission in New York is handling the issue.  He noted 
also that Samer Naber, the MFA's legal advisor who had been 
following the issue in Amman, is in New York this week and 
encouraged USUN to contact him directly at the Jordanian 
Mission. 
 
2. (U)  We note that FonMin Muasher will be in New York 
September 10-18 for the opening of the UNGA and other 
meetings.  During that period, the locus of GOJ 
decisionmaking on all UNGA issues will be in New York rather 
than Amman.
