US embassy cable - 05AMMAN7288

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.

(C) On September 8, poloff delivered reftel talking points to 
Dr. Khaled Al Takhayneh in the Department of International 
Relations and Organizations at the Jordanian Foreign 
Ministry.  Takhayneh responded that the GOJ would likely 
support amending the UN convention for the Suppression of 
Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (SUA) 
but was unsure how the provisions for boarding ships would be 
viewed by Jordanians with maritime interests and the 
Jordanian parliament. His concern was focused on the 
ship-boarding provision as he feared the language might be 
difficult for some Jordanians to accept.  Takhayneh thought 
the GOJ position on amending the SUA would not be formulated 
until the conference to adopt the new provisions is held in 
late October.
