(SBU) Pol/Econ Chief November 14 delivered Ref A demarche
concerning the re-election of U.S. candidate Michael Matheson
to the International Law Commission (ILC) to MFA Director for
International Organization Affairs Ghassan Shaikho. Shaikho
said that Bahrain had still not made a final decision on who
among the WEOG candidates it would support but indicated his
willingness for Bahrain to vote for Mr. Matheson. He noted
that Bahrain's approach to ILC elections is to ensure that
representatives from countries with various types of legal
systems are present so there is a full debate of issues
before the Commission.
