E.O. 12958: DECL: 05/31/2016 TAGS: PREL, SMIG, IR, AORC, MO SUBJECT: MOROCCO: IRAN SEEKS CHAIR OF IOM EXCOM
REF: STATE 86004
Classified By: Pol/C Timothy Lenderking for reasons 1.4 (b), (d).
1. (C) Poloff contacted MFA Acting Director of United Nations and International Organizations Sidi Abdelfattah El Kadiri on May 31 to convey reftel USG opposition to Iran's candidacy for the Chairmanship of the Executive Committee of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Poloff also urged that Morocco consider seeking the position. El Kadiri explained that the GOM was currently holding a four-day course on international migration law in conjunction with the IOM at Al Akhawayne University (in Ifrane two hours outside of Rabat). Unfortunately, all of the MFA experts on the subject are currently participating in this conference and therefore he could not provide a substantive response. El Kadiri pledged, however, to convey the message to the appropriate interlocuters and reply as soon as possible. ****************************************** Visit Embassy Rabat's Classified Website; http://www.state.sgov.gov/p/nea/rabat ******************************************
