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.

E.O. 12958: N/A 
TAGS: AORC APER PREL UNGA UNGA UNGA FI
SUBJECT: FINLAND: UN SYSTEM OF INTERNAL JUSTICE 
 
REF: STATE 51372 
 
1. (U) PolOff delivered the UN System of Internal 
Justice demarche to Deputy Director General Pekka 
Oinonen of the MFA's Legal Department and to Director 
Kai Sauer of the Unit for General Global Affairs on 
May 20. 
 
2. (U) Oinonen stated that the GoF agrees with most 
of the points in the US non-paper, and that the EU 
and the US are generally on the same track.  However, 
at the GA legal experts meetings in June and July, 
the GoF may raise concerns on legal security for 
employees; the number of judges in the UNDT; right of 
appeal based on material facts; and limitations 
placed on "conditions of employment" claims. 
 
3. (U) Regarding "Transitional Arrangements", they do 
not support the transfer of existing cases into the 
new system.  Existing cases should be resolved on the 
current system even if the tenure has to be extended, 
Oinonen said; the new system should accept only new 
cases.
