REF: STATE 106225
(SBU) On October 19, we delivered reftel points to MFA Deputy
Director for International Legal Affairs and Conventions
Ibrahim El-Diwany, urging Egypt to join the international
consensus on a transparent and effective review mechanism for
the UN Convention Against Corruption at the November 9-13
Doha Conference. El-Diwany had no substantive response, and
said that the Public Prosecutor's office has the lead on the
issue. At El-Diwany's request, we sent the MFA a dipnote on
October 21 that requested a meeting with Judge Ahmed
El-Deniri at the Public Prosecutor's office and included
reftel talking points as a nonpaper for Judge El-Deniri.
El-Diwany confirmed that the Public Prosecutor's office
received the dipnote. We will deliver reftel demarche to the
Public Prosecutor's office in person when we are granted a
meeting.
