¶1. (SBU) During an April 8 meeting, Minister of Science and
Technology Dr. Rai'd Fahmi Jahid and Director General of
Nuclear Technology Mohammad al-Sharaa told PolMilOffs that
the GOI had drafted a non-proliferation law. They said that
the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons had
helped the ministry draft the legislation, adding that the
GOI was now discussing the draft with the IAEA. Jahid and
al-Sharaa said that the draft legislation had been approved
by the Council of Ministers and forwarded to the Council of
Representatives, but were unable to provide additional
details about the exact status of the law in the legislative
process.
¶2. (SBU) On April 11, al-Sharaa forwarded us a copy of the
legislation, as well as the associated draft "Iraqi National
Monitoring Directorate Law." (Note: We have e-mailed these
to NEA/I-PM, USDEL OPCW, and UNVIE.)
