US embassy cable - 03AMMAN2071

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.

Classified By: PolCouns Doug Silliman for reasons 1.5 (B)(D) 
 
1.  (C)  On April 3 and again on April 6, PolCouns raised 
with Ali al-Ayed, Personal Assistant to Foreign Minister 
Marwan Muasher, points from reftels on the possibility of a 
Cuban proposal to discuss Iraq in the UNESCO Executive Board. 
PolCouns stressed the inappropriateness of a politicized 
discussion of Iraq at UNESCO.  Discussion of this matter 
belongs more appropriately in the Security Council.  Al-Ayed 
took the points and promised to convey them to the Minister 
and others dealing with UN affairs.
