Viewing cable 06MEXICO6531, DEMARCHE ON UNGA EMERGENCY SPECIAL SESSION

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: DEMARCHE ON UNGA EMERGENCY SPECIAL SESSION 
 
REF: A) SECSTATE 188244 B) MEXICO 3069 
 
1.  (SBU) On November 16, poloff passed ref A talking points 
to Minister Dolores Jimenez, Deputy Director General for UN 
Affairs at the Secretariat for Foreign Relations (SRE).  Post 
notes that historically, Mexico has proven a fairly reliable 
vote against Israel in UN bodies, and we do not expect any 
response we receive from the GOM to this demarche to be 
favorable. 
 
2.  (SBU) Comment: In a May 2006 campaign appearance before 
Mexico's Jewish community (ref B), then-candidate Calderon 
lamented that there had been "a terrible deficiency" in 
Mexico's Middle East policy, epitomized by the GOM's history 
of reflexively supporting anti-Israel resolutions in 
international fora.  He pledged that if he were elected, the 
GOM would no longer maintain an a priori position on Middle 
East-related resolutions and would consider each one on its 
own merits.  It remains to be seen whether, once Calderon 
assumes office, he is able to overcome the SRE's entrenched 
bias in favor of the Arabs, and implement a more independent 
policy on these issues.
