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.

DECLARATION 
 
REF: STATE 40380 
 
ΒΆ1.  (SBU) Poloff delivered demarche on the United States - 
European Union declaration on Prisoners of Conscience 
(reftel) and presented draft declaration language to Ministry 
of Foreign Affairs Director General for Human Rights Augusto 
Saa April 24.  Saa said that the Ministry was previously 
unaware of the draft and he would therefore have to consult 
the GOE mission in New York.  However, he added that on first 
glance, the notion of such a  declaration was "consistent 
with the principles of human rights which guide Ecuadorian 
foreign policy."  Saa also noted that the co-sponsorship of 
the resolution by the European Union would make adoption 
easier.  Saa said he would inform post of the GOE's final 
position on the resolution in due course.
