US embassy cable - 05SANTODOMINGO3829

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.

E.O.12958:  N/A 
TAGS: PTER, DR, UNGA 
SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL 
TERRORISM - DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 
 
REF: STATE 127272 
 
1. The Ambassador delivered reftel talking points on 
the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism 
(CCIT) to Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso on 
July 14. He expressed his general support for 
counterterrorism efforts, but said the MFA would need 
to study this proposal before taking a position.  As of 
July 29, MFA UN/OAS division chief Michelle Cohen did 
not know what action had been taken on our demarche. 
 
2. The Ambassador also passed to Morales a chart 
showing which of 12 existing counterterrorism 
conventions and protocols the Dominican Republic had 
not yet signed or ratified.  He said he would see what 
could be done to remedy that.  On June 29, Cohen 
informed us that the Dominican Congress in mid-July had 
voted to ratify the Inter-American Convention Against 
Terrorism (not on the list we had shared).  As soon as 
President Fernndez signs the bill, the ratification 
will take effect, she said.
