Viewing cable 06BRASILIA418, BRAZIL: UNESCO CONVENTION ON CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS

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:  BRAZIL:  UNESCO CONVENTION ON CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS 
 
REF:  STATE 19851 
 
1.  (SBU)  Currently, ratification of the UNESCO Convention on the 
Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions is 
not on the Brazilian Congress' agenda.   With the attention of the 
legislative branch diverted to the ongoing influence peddling 
scandal and the upcoming October 2006 elections, and the focus of 
the media and the public on the soccer World Cup in July, we doubt 
that Convention will be voted on this calendar year. 
 
2.  (U)  Post will keep Washington agencies informed should the 
situation here change.
