Viewing cable 07BAGHDAD1257, GOI SUBMITS NON-PROLIFERATION LAW

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.

Discussing cables

SUBJECT: GOI SUBMITS NON-PROLIFERATION LAW 
 
REF: BAGHDAD 1252 
 
1.  (SBU) During an April 8 meeting, Minister of Science and 
Technology Dr. Rai'd Fahmi Jahid and Director General of 
Nuclear Technology Mohammad al-Sharaa told PolMilOffs that 
the GOI had drafted a non-proliferation law.  They said that 
the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons had 
helped the ministry draft the legislation, adding that the 
GOI was now discussing the draft with the IAEA.  Jahid and 
al-Sharaa said that the draft legislation had been approved 
by the Council of Ministers and forwarded to the Council of 
Representatives, but were unable to provide additional 
details about the exact status of the law in the legislative 
process. 
 
2.  (SBU) On April 11, al-Sharaa forwarded us a copy of the 
legislation, as well as the associated draft "Iraqi National 
Monitoring Directorate Law."  (Note: We have e-mailed these 
to NEA/I-PM, USDEL OPCW, and UNVIE.)
