Viewing cable 06QUITO2574, GOE INCLINED TO SUPPORT 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 Ref A points and 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 UN Declaration on the 
Rights of Indigenous Peoples is fundamentally flawed. 
 
2.  (SBU) Saa responded 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 arguments from those who oppose it.  Saa 
emphasized it would be difficult for Ecuador to actively 
oppose the draft, citing political realities here, including 
the current electoral climate and the support for the 
Declaration from Ecuadorian indigenous groups.
