Viewing cable 08BRATISLAVA552, SLOVAKIA ON ANTI-ISRAEL BIAS AT UNGA

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: SLOVAKIA ON ANTI-ISRAEL BIAS AT UNGA 
 
REF: STATE 123081 
 
PolOff delivered reftel demarche to Tomas Hrbac, Acting 
Director of the Slovak MFA's UN Department.  Hrbac agreed 
that the number of anti-Israel resolutions discussed at UNGA 
was excessive, and said that EU member states often try to 
negotiate the most egregiously one-sided resolutions with 
Arabic states to reflect a more balanced text.  Hrbac said 
that Slovakia will follow the common EU position, which he 
believes will be an abstention again on the three key 
resolutions highlighted in reftel (resolutions 60/80, 62/81, 
and 62/106), though Hrbac has heard that at least one EU 
member is inclined to support them.
