1. (S) Embassy first raised reftel request for the UAEG to
co-sponsor and support the nomination of the listed
individuals in the UN 1267 Committee on August 30. To date
the UAEG has not provided any substantive response.
Econchief again raised the issue with the office of the
Assistant Under Secretary for International Cooperation and
with the Americas' desk on September 19, which committed to
getting a response to us.


2. (S) Comment: The UAE Central Bank freezes accounts of
any individual placed on the UN 1267 list; however, in our
experience the UAE has not played an active role in
designating individuals to the UN 1267 committee. In most
cases, the UAE prefers to keep its anti-terrorist
cooperation with us and other countries low key. In many
other areas, the UAE is not willing to "get out ahead" of a
GCC consensus. To the best of our knowledge, the UAE has
never co-sponsored anyone for inclusion in the UN 1267
Committee list. In this case, especially since some of the
potential designees are Kuwaitis, post believes that it is
highly unlikely that the UAEG will agree to co-sponsor. End
Comment.
