Viewing cable 06CAIRO1149, EGYPT: UNESCO CONVENTION ON CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS,

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

TAGS: PREL PGOV ETRD EG UNESCO UNGA
SUBJECT: EGYPT: UNESCO CONVENTION ON CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS, 
IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE 
 
REF: STATE 19851 
 
According to our observations and comments from MFA contacts, 
we believe that there has been no effort to date by the 
Government of Egypt to take legislative action on the UNESCO 
Convention on Cultural Expressions (reftel).  We also have no 
indications that the GOE will take steps to ratify the 
convention at any time in the near term.  Media attention on 
the subject has been virtually non-existent, to our 
knowledge.  In general, there has been no public debate on 
this topic.
