1. (C) Post delivered reftel points on the Revival of
Islamic Heritage Society (RIHS) to the MFA's Department of
International Organizations and the Department of New Threats
and Challenges. Vladimir Prokhorov, Senior Legal Advisor in
the Department of New Threats and Challenges, responded that
the GOR might support a proposal for a 1267 designation of
the RIHS in Russia. He suggested that no one in the GOR
would offer more than "support in principle" without seeing
an actual proposal. He also expressed interest in any
information the USG would be willing to share about the RIHS
in Russia, particularly since the GOR's terrorist
organization designation in mid-2006.
2. (C) Prokhorov speculated that a unilateral USG
designation of the RIHS in Russia under E.O. 13224 would not
be well received. He conceded that such a move would show
support for Russia's own action. However, his opinion was
that this aspect would be overshadowed if the USG "bypassed"
the 1267 process.
