Viewing cable 06QUITO2558, GOE INCLINED TO SUPPORT UN INDIGENOUS DECLARATION

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.

1.  (SBU) PolOff presented reftel points and delivered copies 
of three non-papers to Augusto Saa, Director of Human Rights 
and Social and Environmental issues at the MFA, on October 
12, emphasizing the USG view that the Chair's draft 
Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (DRIP) is 
fundamentally flawed.  Saa said that the GOE continues to 
support the draft Declaration, but has advised its UN mission 
not to push any sensitive issues and would share USG concerns 
regarding the declaration with them.  He agreed that more 
discussion of the declaration would be necessary before a 
final vote, and said Ecuador would consult with others who 
are in favor while remaining open to listening to further 
arguments from those who oppose it.  However, he emphasized 
it would be difficult for Ecuador to change its position 
citing political realities, the country's current electoral 
climate and the interest with which indigenous groups were 
following the declaration's progress.
