it was the position of all three governments that the DRIP
required continued refinements and edits as outlined in the
non-papers left behind. Khelifi mentioned that he had
previously reviewed the DRIP and agreed the document was not
ready for advancement to the UN General Assembly or declared

issues and the required technical interpretations of
international and domestic law, Khelifi promised to provide
GOA comments at a future date after a full review of the
Tripartite position.
