1. As reported in ref. A, due to the official mourning
period after the death of late President Sheikh Zayed, and
the week-long government holiday for the Eid Al Fitr, the
UAEG is closed until November 20. The MFA is not receiving
demarches or dip notes. It will not be possible for Post
to deliver ref. B demarche before the Sixth Committee
closes its meetings in New York on November 11. Due to the
time sensitivity of the issue, post recommends that USUN
coordinate with the UAE/UN PermRep directly.
2. The UAEG has consistently confirmed its support for the
USG position on banning all forms of human cloning, as well
as its support for the Costa Rican resolution (see reftels
C, D and E). However, the UAEG has voted in favor of the
Iranian delegation's deferral motion in the past, along
with the rest of the OIC. Unless there is a break in the
OIC consensus, Post has no reason to believe that the UAEG
will change its position. The UAEG stated in November
that, if there was a division within the OIC, it would
consider abstaining, in coordination with the GCC.
