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.

military strength by up to 2,785 military personnel and the 
strength of its formed police unit by up to 300 personnel. 
The vote was 15-0.  France, Costa Rica, Belgium, the United 
Kingdom, and the United States sponsored the resolution. 
 
2. (U) Only South African PermRep Kumalo addressed the 
Council.  Kumalo said he hoped this resolution would be an

eastern DRC was "deteriorating very fast" and the 
humanitarian situation was "dire."
