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.

SUBJECT: ECUADOR UNDECIDED ON UN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS 
 
REF: SECSTATE 114051 
 
1.  On June 20, PolOff relayed reftel talking points to MFA 
Human Rights Director Carmen Larrea.  Larrea said Ecuador 
does not have a position on how the UN Commission on Human 
Rights should be reformed.  Ecuador is reviewing all 
proposals including Cuba's, she said, and will look for a 
non-political way to reform the commission.  PolOff 
encouraged Larrea to support our model for a smaller council 
that would take action only in serious situations and where 
all members have solid human rights records. 
 
2.  Comment:  Our best guess is that Ecuador will look for a 
way to avoid taking sides as it usually does when both we and 
Cuba are involved.
