US embassy cable - 02AMMAN6226

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. (SBU) On October 24, PolCouns and Poloff delivered reftel 
demarche on the Draft Optional Protocol to the Convention 
Against Torture (DOPCAT) to Samer Naber, the  MFA's Legal 
Advisor.  Naber welcomed the points saying that Jordan had 
its own reservations about the DOPCAT and how it had been 
handled in the working group.  The MFA, Naber noted, 
following his own recommendation, had already sent 
instructions to its Mission in New York to coordinate with 
USUN and "ally itself with the U.S. position."
