Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • 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: ROKG PROBABLY TO ABSTAIN ON UNGA RESOLUTIONS ON 
HUMAN RIGHTS AND CHILDREN IN LEBANON 
 
REF: STATE 176793 
 
(SBU) On October 24, poloff delivered reftel points urging 
capitals to vote against two unbalanced, anti-Israel 
resolutions in the Third Committee, to Kim Moon-hahn, 
Director of MOFAT's Human Rights and Social Affairs Division. 
 On October 26, Kim responded that the ROKG had carefully 
read reftel points and fully agreed that the NAM was 
politicizing issues.  The ROKG does not want either 
resolution to pass, but it had not decided whether to vote 
against or abstain.  Kim said that his personal sense was 
that the ROKG would abstain, even if it agreed with the USG 
position, in an effort to remain neutral on divisive Middle 
East issues.
