REF: SECSTATE 40909
1. (SBU) On Aril 5, 2007 Econoff delivered points in reftel
to Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs officials from the
legal office, non-proliferation office, and Iran desk. The
Canadian officials expressed their support for U.S. and UN
policies of freezing financial assets of entities and
individuals involved in proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction. Marc-Antoine Dumas, Legal Officer in the UN,
Human Rights, and Economic Law division explained that
Canadian law requires UN Security Council designations be
immediately incorporated into Canadian law. Therefore,
Iran's Defense Industries Organization (DIO) is already
designated under Canadian Law.
2. (SBU) Chrystiane Roy, Department of Foreign Affairs Iran
Desk Officer, noted that U.S. Executive Order 13382 lists
several aliases for DIO that were not included in UNSCR 1737.
Roy explained that because Canadian Law requires Canadian
designations to follow UNSCR information, the aliases not
included in the security council resolution have not been
incorporated into Canadian law. Therefore, she encouraged
the United States Government to work to include as many
aliases as possible for designated entities, including these
aliases, in Security Council resolution designations.

Michael Blackmore - Senior Policy Officer, Non-proliferation
