REQUEST FOR UREY
REF: A. STATE 80585
B. SCSOB/DL/2008/OC.140
1. This is an action request. Prior to the No Objection
Deadline on 2 January 2009, USUN is requested to object to
the focal point delisting request for BENONi Urey. Urey
should continue to be listed as subject to the measures
imposed by paragraph 4 of UN Security Council resolution 1521
(2003) concerning Liberia, which include a travel ban and
asset freeze.
2. BENONi Urey continues to pose an ongoing threat to the
peace and stability in Liberia and the subregion. Urey was
the Commissioner of Maritime Affairs for former Liberian
President Charles Taylor, and was known to play a key role in
arms procurement. We have reason to believe that Urey has
ongoing ties to Taylor.
3. Department appreciates Mission's efforts.
