1. (U) Pol/E Deputy Chief delivered reftel demarche to
Ambassador Ahmed al-Wan Mulhi, Chief of the Legal and
International Conventions Department at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs on June 3. Dr. Mulhi agreed that instruments
to protect children were an important international effort.
He noted that Yemen's ratification of ILO Convention No. 182
had resulted in the ROYG's strong cooperation with the ILO
and IPEC on specific programs to combat child labor despite
the widespread poverty in Yemen that causes it.


2. (U) Mulhi asked for the protocols on children in armed
conflict and sale of children, child prostitution and child
pornography in Arabic to facilitate efforts in the ROYG to
sign and ratify. He said that because the parliament was new
(constituted in May 2003),it could be some time before they
could take up the protocols. Post will follow-up and report
as necessary.


3. (U) Please advise if Arabic translations of the
protocols are available.
