SUBJECT: SUGGESTED BAHRAINI EDITS AND REVISIONS TO CWC HOST 
COUNTRY AGREEMENT MOU 
 
REF: A. MANAMA 0301 
 
     B. MANAMA 0165 
     C. STATE 17334 AND PREVIOUS 
 
Classified by DCM Susan L. Ziadeh for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 
 
1.  (C) MFA Director for International Organization Affairs 
Ghassan Shaikho told Pol/Econ Chief March 15 that in 
preparing the final text of the Chemical Weapons Convention 
Host Country Agreement Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the 
Bahraini side had uncovered several areas that it would like 
to edit or revise.  Bahrain seeks USG concurrence or feedback 
for each suggested change or question. 
 
2.  (C) Shaikho said Foreign Minister Shaikh Khalid and the 
Ambassador would sign two copies of the MOU, both with the 
same text.  The "Bahraini" agreement, however, would have 
Bahrain listed first in each instance referring to the two 
countries, while the "American" text would list the U.S. 
first each time.  This occurs four times in the text:  three 
times in the preamble and at the concluding signature blocks. 
 Additionally, references to Bahrain should say "the Kingdom 
of Bahrain."  The original preamble reads as: 
 
Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the 
United States of America and the Government of Bahrain 
concerning the conduct of challenge inspections pursuant to 
the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, 
Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on 
Their Destruction. 
 
The Government of the United States of America and The 
Government of Bahrain, bearing in mind the Convention on the 
Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and 
Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction, opened for 
signature on 13 January 1993 (hereinafter referred to as the 
Convention), including in particular Article IX of the 
Convention and its Parts II and X of the Annex on 
Implementation and Verification (hereinafter referred to as 
the Verification Annex); 
 
Desiring to develop procedures to apply in cases in which a 
challenge inspection may affect the interests of both the 
United States of America and Bahrain; 
 
Bahrain's suggested revisions in these three paragraphs are: 
 
Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the 
Kingdom of Bahrain and the Government of the United States of 
America concerning the conduct of challenge inspections 
pursuant to the Convention on the Prohibition of the 
Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical 
Weapons and on Their Destruction. 
 
The Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain and The Government 
of United States of America, bearing in mind the Convention 
on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, 
Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their 
Destruction, opened for signature on 13 January 1993 
(hereinafter referred to as the Convention), including in 
particular Article IX of the Convention and its Parts II and 
X of the Annex on Implementation and Verification 
(hereinafter referred to as the Verification Annex); 
 
Desiring to develop procedures to apply in cases in which a 
challenge inspection may affect the interests of both the 
Kingdom of Bahrain and the United States of America; 
 
3.  (C) The original of the signature blocks reads as: 
 
FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 
 
 
FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN 
 
Bahrain's suggested revision is: 
 
FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN 
 
FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 
 
The suggested revisions in paras 2 and 3 are only/only for 
the "Bahraini" version of the agreement; the U.S. version 
would continue to list the United States before Bahrain. 
 
4.  (C) Part II, Para 2, Bahrain suggests changing the word 
"should" to "will."  The original text is: 
 
2. Based on the principle of territorial sovereignty, which 
is a basic principle reflected in the Convention and its 
integral parts, Bahrain should exercise the rights and 
fulfill the obligations in the Convention as the designated 
inspected State Party or as the host state, as appropriate. 
For inspections within the scope of this Memorandum, the 
United States, with regard to assets of the United States, 
should exercise the rights and fulfill the obligations of an 
inspected State Party in accordance with the provisions of 
the Convention for those assets. 
 
Bahrain's suggested revisions are: 
 
2. Based on the principle of territorial sovereignty, which 
is a basic principle reflected in the Convention and its 
integral parts, Bahrain will exercise the rights and fulfill 
the obligations in the Convention as the designated inspected 
State Party or as the host state, as appropriate. For 
inspections within the scope of this Memorandum, the United 
States, with regard to assets of the United States, will 
exercise the rights and fulfill the obligations of an 
inspected State Party in accordance with the provisions of 
the Convention for those assets. 
 
5.  (C) In Part IV, Para 1, bullet B, Shaikho asks whether 
the U.S. wants both the United States Nuclear Risk Reduction 
Center and the United States Central Command Joint Operations 
Center listed as the notification point of contact, or just 
one of them.  He requests our clarification.  Shaikho will 
seek his Minister's input on who the GOB contact will be, per 
Part IV, Para 1, bullet C. 
 
6.  (C) In Part IV, Para 7, bullet A, the original text of 
the final two sentences read as: 
 
Unless otherwise mutually determined, the inspected State 
Party should exclude equipment not identified by those 
documents or devices, including equipment that has been 
altered. Such equipment should be stored at the point of 
entry. 
 
Bahrain proposes a change in format and an additional 
clarification: 
 
Unless otherwise mutually determined, the inspected State 
Party should exclude: 
 
-     (i) equipment not identified by those documents or 
devices; 
-     (ii) equipment that has been altered or whose 
specifications are materially different from those set out in 
the said documents or devices. 
 
Such equipment should be stored at the point of entry. 
 
7.  (C) In Part IV, Para 8, bullet B, Shaikho has a question 
about the 50 meter band (no change in text, a question only). 
 He understands that the 50 meter band is beyond the 
inspectable area.  Are inspectors permitted to look into 
facilities, entities or structures that fall outside the 
inspectable area but within the 50 meter band?  What should 
be the U.S. and/or Bahraini response if inspectors attempt to 
look into facilities, entities, or structures within the 50 
meter band but outside the inspectable area? 
 
8.  (C) In Part V, Para 1, bullet B, the original text of the 
final sentence reads as: 
 
In the event the United States is the inspected State Party, 
the United States intends to advise the Technical Secretariat 
about our preference for on-site analysis as well as 
considerations in selecting appropriate OPCW- designated 
laboratories, should we agree to that course of action for 
assets under our control. 
 
Bahrain's suggested revisions are: 
 
In the event the United States is the inspected State Party, 
the United States intends to advise the Technical Secretariat 
of its preference for on-site analysis as well as 
considerations in selecting appropriate OPCW- designated 
laboratories, should the United States agree to that course 
of action for assets under its control. 
 
9.  (C) In Part V, Para 2, bullet C, the original text says: 
 
The inspected State Party should ensure that the other 
Participant has up to 108 hours from the inspection team's 
arrival at the point of entry before the other Participant 
must provide the inspection team access to its assets inside 
the perimeter. 
 
Shaikho asks how we arrived at a figure of 108 hours.  He 
says that in Bahrain's reading of the CWC, the time range for 
allowing the inspection team entry to the inspection zone is 
between 12 and 36 hours after arrival.  He suggested that 
Bahrain could likely find excuses to delay entry for 108 
hours, but he is not clear on how we came up with that 
number.  Please provide a timeline to explain the figure. 
10.  (C) In Part VI, Para 1, the first sentence reads as: 
 
In the case of any challenge inspection in which any part of 
an asset of the other Participant is within the inspectable 
area, the inspected State Party should provide the other 
Participant with a copy of the preliminary inspection report 
within 24 hours of receipt and a copy of the draft final 
inspection report within 48 hours of receipt from the 
Technical Secretariat. 
 
Shaikho again asks how we arrived at 24 and 48 hours to pass 
copies of the preliminary inspection report and the draft 
final inspection report, respectively.  He suggested no 
alternate text, but commented that both these periods appear 
to be longer than necessary. 
 
11.  (C) In Part VII, the original text reads as: 
 
The Participants should consult to consider joint or 
independent statements to the press, the requesting State 
Party, the Executive Council, the Conference of the States 
Parties, the Technical Secretariat, or other States Parties 
to the Convention. The Participants should also discuss 
relations with the media.: 
 
Bahrain's suggested revision is: 
 
The Participants should consult and coordinate with regard to 
joint or independent statements to the press, the requesting 
State Party, the Executive Council, the Conference of the 
States Parties, the Technical Secretariat, or other States 
Parties to the Convention. The Participants should also 
discuss relations with the media. 
 
His concern on this point is that the Bahraini side could lag 
the U.S. in developing public affairs materials.  A firmer 
statement to coordinate provides more certainty that the GOB 
will at least know about U.S. public affairs actions, even if 
Bahrain is not yet ready to engage the media. 
 
12.  (C) The original signature block says: 
 
Signed at this XXXX day of YYYY 2006, in the English and 
Arabic languages. 
 
Shaikho said the Foreign Minister had not yet decided whether 
the agreement needed to be signed in both Arabic and English, 
or in English only.  He said one possibility was for the 
agreement to be concluded in English only and the Bahraini 
side would translate it into Arabic for internal use only. 
If the Minister decides on this course of action, the GOB 
would give the Arabic translation to us for review and 
comment, even if it is not binding. 
 
13.  (C) Please provide guidance on Shaikho's suggested 
revisions and questions.
