REF: SECSTATE 130575 
 
ΒΆ1. (U) Pol/Econ officer met with MFA International 
Organization Officer Celia Morais on August 11 to urge 
Portugal to support Dr. Ruth Wedgwood's reelection to the UN 
Human Rights Committee.  Morais welcomed the detailed 
information and replied that Portugal takes great interest in 
the Human Rights Committee and will consider which candidates 
will make up the best group.  Morais added that Portugal 
wants to evaluate the qualifications of all applicants before 
deciding which to support. 
 
2 (SBU) COMMENT: Portugal's Foreign Ministry is still 
smarting somewhat from its failed bid for the Human Rights 
Council and will probably focus efforts on the September 7 
election to remain engaged on the issue. End comment.
