US embassy cable - 03AMMAN4042

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.

SUBJECT: DEMARCHE TO JORDAN ON UN CLONING RESOLUTION 
 
REF: STATE 186073 
 
1.  A/PolCouns and Pol Intern met 2 July with Dr. Mousa 
Braizat, director, International Organizations Department, 
Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Mr. Nayef al-Zaidan, 
assistant and consultant to the director; and, Mr. Ayman 
al-Ameri, second assistant and consultant to the director. 
 
2.  After discussing U.S. initiatives for the 58th UN General 
Assembly (reported septel), A/PolCouns delivered ref talking 
points requesting GOJ support for the Costa Rican resolution 
on human cloning. Braizat suggested that GOJ decisions 
regarding a cloning convention would likely be made in New 
York and would likely involve the input of several GOJ 
actors.  All three officials emphasized the complexity of the 
issue. 
 
3.  It is worth noting that Jordan served as rapporteur for 
the UN,s Ad Hoc Committee on an International Convention 
against the Reproductive Cloning of Human Beings in early 
2002. Given this role, GOJ,s UN Mission should be well 
informed on this issue.
