"The United Nations (UN) General Assembly is expected to revisit the vexed issue of a convention on human cloning this fall, with a vote tentatively scheduled for October 21-22."

..

"The UN's debates on cloning in the recent years have been marked by bitter division, fundamental disagreements, and wrangling. Last year, countries rallied around two proposals-one from Costa Rica, supported by the United States, which called for a total ban, and another tabled by Belgium, which urged a ban on reproductive, but not therapeutic, cloning."
