Viewing cable 06MANAMA1929, BAHRAIN: INTERNATIONAL LAW COMMISSION ELECTION

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.

(SBU) Pol/Econ Chief November 14 delivered Ref A demarche 
concerning the re-election of U.S. candidate Michael Matheson 
to the International Law Commission (ILC) to MFA Director for 
International Organization Affairs Ghassan Shaikho.  Shaikho 
said that Bahrain had still not made a final decision on who 
among the WEOG candidates it would support but indicated his 
willingness for Bahrain to vote for Mr. Matheson.  He noted 
that Bahrain's approach to ILC elections is to ensure that 
representatives from countries with various types of legal 
systems are present so there is a full debate of issues 
before the Commission.
