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.

ΒΆ1. (U) On October 23 PolOff met with Ben Rutsinga, Director 
for International Organizations at the Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs, to deliver reftel demarche on UN General Assembly 
Third Committee resolutions.  Rutsinga was receptive to U.S. 
request to take a stand against no-action motions and 
generally supportive of country-specific resolutions, 
especially concerning Iran and North Korea.  Rutsinga said if 
the Rwandan delegation found itself encouraged to vote 
otherwise as part of an African Union block, it would 
consider abstaining.  He reiterated Rwanda's support for the 
resolution against rape as an instrument as a state policy. 
Rutsinga said he will pass Third Committee resolution 
information on to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who must 
then consult with the Cabinet.  He said he will report back 
to the Embassy with the Government of Rwanda's response, but 
did not give a timeline for doing so.
