Viewing cable 08TRIPOLI799, KOSOVO ICJ RESOLUTION AT UNGA -- LIBYA

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: KOSOVO ICJ RESOLUTION AT UNGA -- LIBYA 
 
REF: STATE 105796 
 
Drawing on background and talking points contained in reftel, we 
informed via dipnote on October 6 the General People's Committee 
for Foreign Liaison and International Cooperation (MFA 
equivalent) of the USG intention to vote against the Serbian 
resolution at UNGA concerning the legality of Kosovo's 
declaration of independence.  We urged Libya to join us and 
other concerned countries in voting against the measure.  We 
have been unable to meet with appropriate Libyan officials at 
the General People's Committee because of their Ramadan and the 
Eid al-Fitr holiday work schedules.  Given Libya's previous 
position on Kosovo, we expect that its delegation to the UNGA is 
likely to vote with any emerging Arab/Islamic consensus.
