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.

SUBJECT: LEBANON TRIBUNAL: UAE CONTRIBUTION RECEIVED 
 
 
(SBU) The UN Office of Legal Affairs (OLA) has advised USUN 
that the UN received a contribution of USD 4,999,975 to the 
General UN Trust Fund on March 17 from the Abu Dhabi Finance 
Department.  After trying unsuccessfully for the past week to 
contact the UAE Mission to confirm that the deposit was 
intended for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, OLA told USUN 
on March 27 that UNSCR 1559 envoy Terje Roed-Larsen was able 
to contact the UAE Foreign Minister directly to confirm that 
fact.  The UAE Foreign Minister also reportedly told Larsen 
that the UAE wants the contribution to remain anonymous or 
characterized as a contribution from a state "in the region" 
for at least the time being.
