Viewing cable 06QUITO2093, ECUADOR WILL NOT SUPPORT WEDGWOOD FOR THE HRC

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 WILL NOT SUPPORT WEDGWOOD FOR THE HRC 
 
REF: SECSTATE 85722 
 
ΒΆ1.  (SBU) On August 18, PolOff met with Lourdes Puma, 
Director General for Multilateral Affairs in the Ecuadorian 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deliver the diplomatic note in 
reftel.  Ms. Puma said the GOE will not support Professor 
Ruth Wedgwood's candidacy for re-election to the HRC.  She 
said recently concluded voting agreements made with certain 
European and African countries precluded GOE support. 
Pressed for details, she would not explain further or reveal 
whom Ecuador will support.  Puma stressed that the GOE was 
not necessarily opposed to Dr. Wedgwood's views and did not 
necessarily believe her to be unqualified, but the GOE's 
other commitments took precedence.
