US embassy cable - 05AMMAN7953

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) Poloff delivered Ref A demarche October 5 to Khaled Al 
Takhayneh of the International Organizations Department at 
Jordan's Foreign Ministry.  Takhayneh assured poloff that the 
GoJ would approve amending the SUA protocol later this month; 
his earlier concerns regarding shipboardings were assuaged 
when he learned that the amendments to the SUA protocol would 
recognize flag-state jurisdiction by requiring consent to 
board a vessel.  Takhayneh also showed poloff a letter from 
the GoJ's Minister of Transportation to the Foreign Ministry 
indicating that Transportation had no objections to the 
non-paper transmitted in ref B.
