US embassy cable - 05ABUDHABI3175

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.

Classified By: Ambassador Michele J. Sison, reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 
 
(C) Pol Chief made ref A demarche on the G-4 framework 
resolution on UN reform to MFA Director for International 
Organizations Yacub Al Hosani on July 19, urging that the UAE 
oppose the resolution, or at minimum abstain.  The UAEG had 
already taken a decision not to support the resolution, Al 
Hosani said, but had not yet decided whether to vote against 
it or abstain.  He said there was a possibility that the G-4 
might withdraw their resolution pending their meeting with 
the African Union.  Ambassador had made ref C demarche to MFA 
U/S Abdullah Rashid Al Noaimi on July 12, emphasizing that 
governments should continue to focus on a comprehensive range 
of UN reform issues.
