SOMALI PIRACY
REF: STATE 1223
1. Abdul Hakeem al-Eryani, Director of the Office of the
Foreign Minister, confirmed on January 10 that Yemen's
Permanent Representative to the United Nations will attend
the January 13-14 Contact Group on Somali Piracy.
2. Poloff provided al-Eryani with reftel draft agenda and
proposed meeting communiqu. He expressed concern over
"duplicative efforts" in establishing an interim
Counter-Piracy Coordination Center, especially since the
International Maritime Organization will soon meet in
Djibouti to discuss a similar agenda. Yemen, he said, is
still interested in hosting a regional counter-piracy center
in the south. Reviewing focus area 3 in the communiqu, he
told Poloff that the Europeans were "well aware" of Yemen's
judicial process and the fact that the death penalty was an
option for convicted pirates. Al-Eryani thanked Poloff for
the additional information on the meeting and said that he
would pass along the information to Yemen's mission to the UN.
