Viewing cable 06KHARTOUM2691, Sudan: Demarche on UN Country Specific Human Rights

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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

2. (SBU) U/S Mutriff responded that UN country resolutions should be 
objective and not subject to retaliatory measures.  He stated that 
they should be debated openly and voted upon, with the UN's response 
to human rights issues "upgraded."  Mutriff also said that he would 
pass the demarche on to the Department for International 
Organizations for further review. 
 
3. (U) Post will follow-up with the MFA to determine if specific
