REF: STATE 017684
Embassy officer followed up our fax and phone demarche
(reftel) in a meeting February 11 with MFA UN, OAS, and
international organizations division director Michelle Cohen,
who is the point of contact for counter-terrorism issues.
She said that she normally serves as the Dominican
Government's designated representative to CICTE, but that the
press of business had delayed a final MFA decision. On
February 15 her office informed us that she was on her way to
Port of Spain to attend the fifth regular CICTE meeting. The
MFA also informed us that the Dominican Republic has not yet
ratified the Inter-American Convention Against Terrorism and
has not submitted its annual report to CICTE. The Dominican
Government has submitted the convention to the Senate, which
is considering ratification. The last annual report to CICTE
was submitted in 2003.
