Viewing cable 09STATE24506, GUIDANCE: CSW RESOLUTION ON PALESTINIAN WOMEN

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: CSW RESOLUTION ON PALESTINIAN WOMEN 
 
1. (SBU) USUN should call for a vote and vote against the 
resolution before the UN Commission on the Status of Women 
(CSW) on the "Situation of and Assistance to Palestinian 
Women." 
 
2. (SBU) Mission is authorized to draw on previously cleared 
Departmental press guidance and Mission's Explanation of Vote 
(EOV) on the resolution on this topic presented at the 2008 
CSW session in presenting an EOV this year.  In presenting an 
EOV, Mission should prominently note that the universalist 
values of the CSW render it inappropriate for it to single 
out, for narrow political reasons, the circumstances of one 
population of women, when many other populations of women 
around the world also face unique and challenging 
circumstances.
