Viewing cable 07MANAGUA2457, NICARAGUA MUTE ON WHO IPR ISSUES

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.

1. (SBU) On October 30, Econoff delivered Ref A demarche, on 
Brazilian efforts to weaken intellectual property protections 
for pharmaceuticals through World Health Organization fora, 
to Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Development (MIFIC) 
Director General for International Trade Sonia Somarriba. She 
was unable to provide a substantive response, but promised to 
study the issue.  She explained that the MIFIC official who 
covers World Trade Organization issues had recently left the 
ministry and that for intellectual property rights she has no 
permanent staff.  Somarriba reported that Nicaragua's mission 
in Geneva would represent Nicaragua in the upcoming 
Intergovernmental Working Group on Public Health, Innovation 
and Intellectual Property (IGWG). 
 
2. (SBU) In a follow-up conversation on November 6, Somarriba 
said the issue was still being studied.  In response to a 
related demarche delivered on September 6 (Ref C), MIFIC 
officials said that the best we could hope for is that 
Nicaragua would remain silent on this issue (Ref A). 
 
3. (SBU) As requested in Ref A, post has forwarded this 
information by email to Tanuja Garde at USTR.
