1. (C) Polchief delivered reftel demarche to MFA Director for
International Organizations and Conferences Yacub Al Hosani
December 21, urging the UAEG to make adoption of all 12
international counterterrorism conventions a priority. Al
Hosani said that his government was very receptive to the
principle of universal adoption and implementation of the
conventions and protocols. He added that while there are
some "procedural" questions that the UAEG needs to address
concerning the three conventions and one protocol that it
still has not adopted, there are no outstanding legal issues.
"It's on our agenda to ratify them," he affirmed.
2. (C) Decisions related to UN counterterrorism conventions
and protocols fall under the responsibility of a National
Committee to Implement Security Council Resolution No. 1373,
chaired by MFA Under Secretary Abdullah Rashid Al Noaimi, Al
Hosani explained. That committee is comprised of
representatives from MFA, the ministries of Justice and
Interior, UAE Armed Forces General Headquarters, the Central
Bank, and Customs. Al Hosani said that he expects a decision
in early 2005 that will establish the committee as the UAE's
Anti-Terrorism Committee, as provided under the
Anti-Terrorism Law adopted in July 2004.
