Viewing cable 09STATE18258, GUIDANCE: SPECIAL TRIBUNAL FOR LEBANON MANAGEMENT

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.

Discussing cables

SUBJECT: GUIDANCE: SPECIAL TRIBUNAL FOR LEBANON MANAGEMENT 
COMMITTEE, FEB 27 
 
REF: A. SIMONOFF-GARUCKIS EMAIL OF 2/25/09 
     B. SCHEDLBAUER-GARUCKIS EMAIL OF 2/24/09 
 
1. Department appreciates USUN's work on the Special Tribunal 
for Lebanon Management Committee (STL-MC) and provides the 
following guidance for use in the next STL-MC meeting, 
currently scheduled for February 27. 
 
2. After reviewing REF A and B regarding a possible change in 
Prosecutor Bellemare's terms and conditions of employment, 
Department remains concerned that agreeing to the proposed 
change would set an unhealthy precedent for future tribunals 
and could result in large-scale, productivity-sapping and 
costly negotiations by prosecutors or other senior staff at 
existing tribunals to seek similar adjustments to their 
remuneration package.  Considering the negative implications 
of a change in employment terms and conditions for Bellemare, 
USUN should reject such a proposal.
