Viewing cable 07PARIS2511, FRANCE SHARES HRC "RED LINES" BUT DEMURS ON

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

FORCING A VOTE 
 
REF: STATE 80095 
 
1. (SBU) Poloff delivered reftel demarche on June 11 to MFA 
IO DAS-Equivalent for Human Rights Jacques Pellet.  Pellet 
stated that France wanted to maintain the country-specific 
rapporteur mandates, consistent with the EU position.  Pellet 
equally agreed on the necessity to avoid any specific 
anti-Israel permanent agenda items.  "These are red lines," 
he stated. 
 
2. (SBU) In response to the request that France call for a 
vote in the event of an unsatisfactory final package, Pellet 
took note but stated outright that France believed the Human 
Rights Council must be built up on the basis of consensus.
