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.

UNCLAS ABU DHABI 002603 SIPDIS STATE FOR NEA/ARP, L/LEI, G/TIP, NEA/RA, DRL, PRM DOJ FOR OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PREL, PHUM, KCRM, KWMN, KTIA, PGOV, TC SUBJECT: AMBASSADOR RAISES MLAT AND TIP WITH MINISTER OF JUSTICE AL-DHAHERI 1. MLAT: The Ambassador, accompanied by Polchief and POL FSN, met 5/31 with UAE Minister of Justice, Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Muhammad Nakhira Al- Dhaheri. The Ambassador engaged Al-Dhaheri on the draft Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty, noting that, following the exchange of proposed changes, the U.S. was prepared to begin negotiations in the near future. The Ambassador proposed a discussion of preliminary matters via video teleconference. Al- Dhaheri agreed on the need to proceed, but asked that the VTC incorporate a discussion of longstanding and unmet UAE requests to the USG related to judicial matters. The Ambassador demurred that such a discussion should occur in a separate forum. (Note: We will meet with Ministry of Justice officials to ascertain the nature of these concerns.) 2. EXTRADITION TREATY: The Minister expressed the UAEG's desire to move forward with negotiations on a draft extradition treaty concurrent with MLAT negotiations. The Ambassador, noting the minor changes to the MLAT suggested by both sides, hoped that we could conclude that agreement and then open discussions on an extradition treaty. The Minister took the Ambassador's point on board. 3. TIP: The Ambassador asked the Minister for an update on the status of the draft law criminalizing the use of underage camel jockeys. Al-Dhaheri briefed that the legislation is with the Supreme Council of Rulers pending the signature of the rulers of all seven emirates. Once the other six emirate rulers have signed, the legislation will be sent to UAE President and Abu Dhabi Ruler Zayid bin Sultan Al-Nahyan's office for his signature. With Zayid's signature, the legislation becomes law. Al-Dhaheri could not predict how long the process would take, but did not expect it to be too drawn out. WAHBA
