TAGS: PREL PHUM GT UNCHR
SUBJECT: GUATEMALA ANNOUNCES SUPPORT BUT NOT CO-SPONSORSHIP 
FOR CUBA RESOLUTION 
 
Foreign Minister Jorge Briz publicly announced on April 13 
that Guatemala will vote for the Cuba resolution drafted by 
Honduras.  Briz added that he had issued precise instructions 
to the Guatemalan delegation in Geneva.  Most major dailies 
carried the story, with one paper reporting that the Cuban 
Ambassador to Guatemala had refused to comment.  The same 
article quotes opposition Congressman and former Guatemalan 
Ambassador to Geneva and the U.S., Antonio Arenales, pointing 
out that Cuba has no excuse for refusing a visit by the UN 
High Commissioner's Personal Representative--something that 
Guatemala has done.
