US embassy cable - 05AMMAN8935

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: DECL: 11/15/2015 
TAGS: PHUM, IR, JO, UNHRC-1 
SUBJECT: JORDAN: UN THIRD COMMITTEE DEMARCHE DELIVERED 
 
REF: A. STATE 207928 
     B. AMMAN 8780 
 
Classified By: Ambassador David Hale for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 
 
 
(U) This message replaces Amman 8911, which has been recalled. 
 
(C) The Ambassador delivered Ref A demarche to Foreign 
Minister Kasrawi November 1, emphasizing that the U.S. needed 
Jordan's help in defeating the no-action motion initiated by 
Iran and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, and, 
when a vote on the resolution came, in voting in favor of the 
text.  The Ambassador said that it clearly had not been a 
good year for human rights in Iran.  Kasrawi said he would 
call Prince Zaid, but cautioned that a favorable vote on the 
actual resolution may be difficult this year.  COMMENT: 
Ambassador will raise this issue with the Royal Palace; their 
past guidance to the Foreign Ministry to keep a line of 
communication open with the Iranians may account for 
Kasrawi's reaction.
