Viewing cable 06OSLO1423, NORWAY ON THE NOVEMBER 17 EMERGENCY SPECIAL

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. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #06OSLO1423.

Post was unable to confirm how Norway will vote in the ESS 
scheduled for 17 November.  However, Tormod Endresen, head of 
the MFA's Human Right's Section, noted that the GON is 
disappointed to see the ESS invoked again and feels that it 
is an improper use of the vehicle.  Norway will strongly 
discourage other nations from abusing the ESS process in the 
future.
