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.

(U) Classified by Charge D'Affaires Thomas Williams for reasons 1.5 (B) and (C). 2. (U) This is an action request; please see paragraph 5. 3. (C) On the heels of the very successful May 2002 Hawala Conference in Abu Dhabi (reftel), UAE Central Bank Governor Sultan Al-Suweidi officially notified the Ambassador on February 5 of his intention to host the Second International Conference on Hawala in Abu Dhabi, April 2-3, 2003. The preliminary agenda includes panel discussions by representatives from FATF, law enforcements agencies, and academia, and presentations from banking representatives from Central Asia, the Middle East, and Africa among others. 4. (C) Comment: Additional information regarding the conference agenda and a registration form will become available on the UAE Central Bank's website (WWW.CBUAE.GOV.AE) in the next few days. The draft agenda does not mention charities and charitable organizations, despite the Governor's earlier indications that the topic would be discussed during or on the margins of the Second Hawala Conference. We will raise this with the Governor in subsequent meetings and report any response we receive. End comment. 5. (C) Action request: Post requests that USG participants -- once an official delegation is constituted via the interagency process -- allow the Embassy to coordinate travel and accommodations and that they not/not register directly for the conference via the UAE Central Bank website. This will ensure that the U.S. delegation can be located together, simplifying considerably the logistical arrangements. Williams
