Viewing cable 07TALLINN642, ESTONIA UNLIKELY TO CONTRIBUTE TO UN LEBANON

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.

TRIBUNAL 
 
REF: STATE 129919 
 
(U) On September 18, Poloff delivered reftel points to 
Tiina Krevald, MFA Acting Director for International 
Cooperation, and Veikko Kala, MFA UN Desk Officer, to 
encourage the Government of Estonia (GOE) to contribute 
financially to the UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon.  On 
October 2, Kala informed us that it is unlikely the MFA 
will contribute to the Lebanon Tribunal.  The GOE has 
not completed its budget yet and cannot make financial 
commitments until this process is completed.  Also, Kala 
noted, Estonia previously contributed to three other 
international tribunals (for the former Yugoslavia, 
Rwanda, and Sierra Leone).
